Further Re Scripting Command Difficulties

Hi List.
Thanks to Carl R. & Sunanda for your tips. Gave them
a go, but still no further progress.
I'll define what I have done, maybe something will
stand out. My install is RedHat 9.0 with Gnome GUI.
Via Command Line, (as Root)
# mkdir /rebol ... next
# mv -v view-pro042.tar.gz /rebol ... went OK, next
# cd /rebol , then
# gunzip view-pro042.tar.gz ... went OK, next
# tar -vxf view-pro042.tar ... went OK, next
# ls
# feedback.r licence.html rebol setup.html view-
pro042.tar ... next
# ./rebol ... and I get the following result:
** User Error: REBOL: Cannot connect to X server.
** Near: size: size-text self
all [
para para/origin size: size + para/origin
para/margin size: size + para/margin
]
** Press enter to quit
If I completely remove the /rebol dir and it's contents
and do the same procedure as above, I get the same
result. The X server works, because if I type
# startx ... my sytem boots into the Gnome Desktop
P.S. I am new to Rebol and Linux
Thanks, Ben

Hi Ben,

You have to do the above inside a terminal window from X, i.e. in
gterm or xterm. Otherwise, you'll have to set up the DISPLAY
environment variable correctly, at least.
Regards,
Gabriele.

The problem is that /View does start on current X environment.
$ export DISPLAY=xxx.xxx.xxx.:0.0
et voila ;-)

Eh? Does that mean you can start view without
starting X windows first?
And can you then open windows, show faces etc?
Anton.

Hello Anton,
No, X needs to be running (I requested this 3 months ago by rebol, got no reply thought...)
In my opinion /view does not has to have an X running, it only needs the Libs of X to
get started.
I needed the /view PRO features but then discovered that /view is unable
to run without X, that made my purchage of PRO useless.
I use /view a lot via telnet, NON GUI (prefs.r edited and DISPLAY set and X running on
that machine)
thats the only way i can use the /view PRO features without the use of GUI options.
(R)egards, Norman.
