[N.N.P]

I just installed Suse 9.1 pro. Emacs was not included in the default install so i installed it off the cd using Yast. It appeared to install fine but when i try to run it i get the following error...

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

emacs: Cannot connect to X server :0.0.
Check the DISPLAY environment variable or use `-d'.
Also use the `xhost' program to verify that it is set to permit
connections from your machine.


I have no clue whatsoever what any of this means or how i'd even begin trying to fix it. Can anyone suggest something?

Aswell as that, should I use Yast to install packages or the rpm commands from the command line. I heard that if you dont install rpm packages properly it can mess up the rpm database.

Thanks,
NNP

I think it's because emacs is trying to start up in Xemacs mode, and it doesn't have authorization. Try reading the info page on emacs (info emacs) and finding the no X windows option, and using it.
