I'm starting using synth, never used it before. I get this error: # synth build net/mpich Error opening terminal: xterm. I'm supposed to run synth as root, right? Is synth trying to open another xterm as root? I've never allowed root access to a display: # xterm Warning: This program is an suid-root program or is being run by the root user. The full text of the error or warning message cannot be safely formatted in this environment. You may get a more descriptive message by running the program as a non-root user or by removing the suid bit on the executable. xterm: Xt error: Can't open display: %s xterm: DISPLAY is not set Am I wrong? Anton
