The configuration pieces all look correct. Using the latest Subversion trunk (10856) the example runs without issue on my system in the build tree using: ./xgtk_interfaceocaml I am running Ubuntu 9.10, with relevant libraries similar to yours. Looking through the error messages, this looks like something that stems from the application being run across a network X connection. My understanding is that something in the pipeline is rejecting the connection, which leads to the "Gtk-WARNING **: Screen for GtkWindow not set" error. This cascades through the rest of the Gtk+ calls not having a screen or window to write to. I have had similar problems in the past with forwarded X applications. If I recall correctly, the non-security-conscious approach is along the lines of: xhost +localhost That said, I don't remember if this is supposed to be run on the client or server :-) I think localhost should be replaced by the opposite system (server -> client or client -> server). I hope this helps. Do any of the other Gtk-using examples show similar problems?
