Dear all, I'm trying to install Matlab on SuSE 8.1. The install program that comes with it says: Xlib: connection to "0:0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified and then stops. It also has a manual/text option (-t) for install and which works but doesn't install it completely and at the end it just says please see your manual for further details on how to complete installation (manual which I don't have). So if there is anyone out there that knows what the error message means and how to get round it and/or how to install matlab in text mode please get back to me. cheers, j. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Are you by any chance trying to install through your favourite console as root, using su? If so, you might try using sux instead of su: that should give you the connection to the X server you need. -- JDL Non enim propter gloriam, diuicias aut honores pugnamus set propter libertatem solummodo quam Nemo bonus nisi simul cum vita amittit.
