    Since I upgraded to 9.1 I have been having trouble installing stuff such as
    Open Office from the command line. the error message says:

    glibc version: 2.3.3
    Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
    Xlib: Protocol not supported by server

    ./setup: cannot connect to X server :0.0

    I am getting a similar message when I try to ssh -X as well.
    So I found a thread on another list that says to do the following to correct
    the problem and it works!

    "1. As a normal user do a xhost + to allow anyone to connect to the local
    display.
    2. become root using su -
    3. Do an export DISPLAY=:0.0
    4. Run the program
    5. Grin like an idiot when it finally workes

    I added export DISPLAY=:0.0 to root's .bashrc to allow it to always use the
    current display. "

    My question is what happened to my machine to cause this problem and what is
    the correct way to fix it especially since I don't have a /.bashrc file.

    Thanks
    Richard
