I'm trying to run the newsreader exmh (I run it on Linux) I have it up and running, but when I start it up, I get EITHER the set of messages: % exmh BgRegister X server insecure (must use xauth-style authorization); command ignored BgRegister X server insecure (must use xauth-style authorization); command ignored BgRegister X server insecure (must use xauth-style authorization); command ignored BgRegister X server insecure (must use xauth-style authorization); command ignored BgRegister X server insecure (must use xauth-style authorization); command ignored exmh-bg cannot rendez-vous with UI - exiting. Usually this is because Tk send is not working. Check the notes under Frequently Asked Questions #4a and #4b. You can find this under the Help menu. --- or exmh No protocol specified No protocol specified application-specific initialization failed: couldn't connect to display ":0.0" No protocol specified No protocol specified Error in startup script: couldn't connect to display ":0.0" while executing "load /usr/local/lib/libtk86.so.1 Tk" ("package ifneeded Tk 8.6.4" script) invoked from within "package require Tk" (file "/usr/local/bin/exmh" line 49) --- The first seems to imply some problem with xauth, the second may be trying to tell me that some Tk library is missing. Can anyone interpret these errors and tell me whats actually wrong? -- Reg.Clemens reg@dwf.com
