Thread: pgaccess
In Xwindow, if I su to root and type pgaccess, the window comes up. When I su to postgres or my regular user account and type pgaccess I get error messages, they start like this : Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to server Application initialization failed: couldn't connect to display ":0" There is more about error from main.tcl line 5 I'd sure like to use this interface though.

One way to solve it is to do export XAUTHORITY=~/.Xauthority as the user who starts X, which will work if you su to root, but not to another non-superuser, because that user will not be able to read the file. Alternatively do xhost +localhost which should allow any user on localhost to connect to your X session -- Oliver Elphick Oliver.Elphick@lfix.co.uk Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me; And I give unto them eternal life; and they shallnever perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand."

Yes :-) Go to your source directory and just remove the file config.cache or simply do a 'make distclean' (?? not sure: possibly this target is not really available). After that start over with your "./configure --with-tcl" and install it. Andreas
