- When I give the $CREATE/TERMINAL command on one of our VAXes, I get:
-
- dectermport failed to find language, XOpenDisplay("") returned NULL
- %DECW-F-CANT_OPEN_DISPL, can't open display
-
- What does this mean ?
-
- Yes, I have defined the display with SET DISPLAY/CREATE.... A
- similar procedure works on other machines, but not this one. I suspect
- that there's a problem with the DECwindwos installation, but I'm at
- a loss to say what.
-
- Can anyone explain this ?
-
- Thanks,
- Bob
