Hi,

I'm trying to set my DISPLAY variable on Solaris 9 and keep getting the message DISPLAY=203.18.xxx.xxx:0.0 is not an identifier.

I'm setting it using the command:
export DISPLAY=203.18.xxx.xxx:0.0

Does anyone have an idea on what I'm doing wrong?
 
Are you sure you're in a Korn shell? If not, you need to do it in two steps...
[tt]
DISPLAY=203.18.xxx.xxx:0.0
export DISPLAY
[/tt]
Hope this helps.

 
Wok,

Just in case you use csh (or tcsh) you set your display like so:

setenv DISPLAY 203.18.xxx.xxx:0.0
Have a Great Day!! :)
