your DISPLAY variable is unset.
are u trying to run a cmd as root under a user`s Xserver? open a shell, type "xset +" and then try again. also do a "echo $DISPLAY", this should return ":0.0", if it doesnt, do a "export DISPLAY=:0.0" and try to start the program u tried to start before from the same shell.
another possibility for that error could be that you tried to start a program that needs an Xserver from a terminal. provide more info what ure trying to do and helping is easier.

Hello, tnx for the answer. I have compiled and installed a package called Soundmodem (Soundcard as a radiomodem for hamradio). In the documentation it says that the requirement for that is to have gtk and libxml installed, i have compiled and installed all that stuff, but when i run soundmodemconfig i get this message Gtk-Warning **:cannot open display:. Iīm not so familiar with this GTK stuff. /Thomas
