Or as user gove root "access permission" to your X server with "xhost" (-> see manpage). I f this does not help: sux to root and check the DISPLAY environment variable, whether it is correctly set. Should something like ":0.0" or "localhost:0.0". The above are fixing (may be) the symptoms, not the cause of the problem. These are comeing from the wrong permissions set for the file Project.pm . ...but when it is emerged, it should be correctly set. At this point I have no clue, whether wrong permissions are given to that file/to those files of package. Only my two cents, your currency may vary... HTH and keep hacking! mcc -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
