Hello, I am running FreeBSD 5.4 with the Fluxbox window manager. I have installed a MySQL GUI but I cannot run it as root: (mysql-administrator-bin:814): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: I logged in locally as a non-privileged user (who can open the program) and su'd to root. I then set my DISPLAY variable: # DISPLAY=LOCALHOST:0.0 Here are the programs (mysql-administrator calls mysql-administrator-bin): -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 546B Feb 8 03:10 /usr/X11R6/bin/mysql-administrator -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2.3M Feb 8 03:10 /usr/X11R6/bin/mysql-administrator-bin What should I do? __________________________________________________________ Find your next car at http://autos.yahoo.ca
