Re: First-time Linux setup - questions
Someone pointed out correctly that I had to run ldconfig. What I figured
out for myself was that I had to add /usr/openwin/lib to the conf file
first.
However, now I have a new problem:
olvwm: cannot connect to (NULL DISPLAY)
Now what? In UNIX, I would just type "setenv DISPLAY maui:0.0" and that
would be that. But LINUX does not use setenv? How do you set environment
variables in LINUX? I tried adding "DISPLAY=maui:0.0" to my .bash_profile
with no success. What am I missing?
Thanks,
Jerry
