Trouble with jdk?

[Israel]

Ok, I'm using Knoppix 5.1 and everytime I try to compile a source with jdk that has import javax.swing.JOptionPane; I get an error like this:



Exception in thread "main" java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.

Any suggestions?

You appear to be attempting this while being logged as root. Do it instead under your regular account, from a konsole or xterm under X-xindows. Or at least issue "xhost +" to allow other accounts to access the display (eg root but anyone from any host, really, which is not advisable).

Ah... It ran with X-terminal! Thank you!
