Re: [ferret_users] connection with graphical output device

Hi ferreters



I´m running ferret on windows XP following the instructions from http://www.ferret.noaa.gov/HOMEPAGE/Downloads/ferret_installation_win32.html

I start the X-server in cygwin typing ‘startx’ before launching ferret. The X- server works fine (I can see xclock, for instance). However, when I try to plot something with ferret it gives me the following error:

"Can't connect to X Server :0.0
Your DISPLAY environment variable must be set to
point to a working X server.

gopenws()   26 Specified workstation cannot be opened

**ERROR: required program command has not been given: graphical output device isnt ready"

I created the environment variable DISPLAY and gave the value ‘:0.0’. I I've also tried to change DISPLAYs value but it ever appear the same message. It only varies :0.0 which depends the given value.

I saw that other people had similar problems, but still could not solve this connection problem. Does anyone have any tip?

Thanks for your Cooperation
