Re: [orca-list] Problems runing Orca

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

This means that Orca cannot connect to the graphical desktop running 
(the X Windows System Server).  If you are running the 'orca' command 
from a character console, you probably need to set your DISPLAY 
environment variable to point to the X server.  You can verify this is 
the problem by running some other X command, such as 'xdpyinfo'.  If it 
says something like 'unable to open display', it means your environment 
isn't set up to connect to the X server.

The first thing to try is typing the following command exactly as 
written.  Spacing, punctuation, and capitalization are important:

export DISPLAY=:0

Then, try the 'xdpyinfo' command again.  If it still complains, your X 
server probably isn't running.  If it doesn't complain, then orca 
should work.
