Tk appears to have built fine and been included. The problem is that I don't have a DISPLAY available: <snip> couldn't connect to display ":0" at /usr/home/cpan/pit/rel/conf/perl-5.8.9/.cpanplus/5.8.9/build/Tk-804.028/blib/lib/Tk/MainWindow.pm line 55.

Thank's in advance for your help. > I believe that people usually check that the DISPLAY environment variable is set and skip these kind of tests if it isn't set. Unless there is another way of checking that a display is available. I'm CC'ing the cpantesters discussion list in if anyone has any further advice. I unfortunately don't have the tuits at the moment to setup a display for the 20+ machine images I maintain for CPAN testing. > Best regards, > > Lorenz Domke > > -------- Original-Nachricht -------- > > > > Tk-XPMs-1.10: > > - i386-freebsd-thread-multi-64int / 5.8.9: > > - FAIL http://nntp.x.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2688669 > > Cheers, -- Chris Williams aka BinGOs PGP ID 0x4658671F http://www.gumbynet.org.uk ==========================
