$DISPLAY

[Chris Burns <fooberman@mail.utexas.edu>]

Hey all,

I dotn' think my $DISPLAY variable is set correctly.  I'm trying to run 
an X program on a remote computer through ssh.  It says:

Cannot create window - please check your DISPLAY environment variable.

So i checked the value of $DISPLAY and it is blank.  I'm not sure what 
to set it to.  I used to be able to do this on a previous Linux 
installation (i think it was Mandrake 8) but it has never worked on 
Debian Woody.  Thanks for any help,

Chris~
