Hi,

Need some help with installation of wmaker (WindowMaker) on Debian sarge. This
is what I did:
# aptitude install wmaker --verbose
# wmaker
/usr/lib/WindowMaker/WindowMaker fatal error: could not open display ""

Any ideas? Thanks

Your DISPLAY variable is not set. I think it should be set for you whenyou start your X services. What xfree* or xserver* packages do you haveinstalled?
