More useful information:
- What command are you running?
- What is the *exact* error message?
- How is your root session executing?
- Are you local or remote on this box?
If you are logged in as a nonprivileged user, are 'su'd or 'sudo'd to
root, and are attempting to run an X client, try specifying the local
display *and* merging xauth records, as root:
# export DISPLAY=<local display>
# xauth merge ~/<nonprivileged user>/.Xauthority
Peace.
