Re: Ferret without an X display

["Jonathan Callahan" <callahan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chris,

This problem was introduced in version 4.40 or 4.41 which was the first
official release of the graphical user interface.  (Certain calls to
Xlib were made BEFORE determining whether the "-gui" flag was set.)
This bug was fixed in version 4.42.

If you cannot provide a valid X display for Ferret to use then you will have
to upgrade to a more recent release of Ferret.
