When I try to compile evolution it fails with error messages beginning
:-

--8<--
Xlib: connection to ":1.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified


Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :1
Scan failed
make[5]: *** [scan-build.stamp] Error 1
make[5]: Leaving directory
`/usr/local/home/antony/rpm/BUILD/evolution-1.0.8/doc/devel/calendar/cal-util'
--8<--

How do I open the second X server required to complete the compile?
Simply running "startx GNOME -- :1" doesn't work for me. Why is a second
X server required to build some SRPMS anyway?
