As I said, I tried to build with root while root was not allowed to use the display. Granting root access with 'xhost +local:' or 'setenv XAUTHORITY /usr/home/USER/.Xauthority' fixes the problem. Having to do that was kind of unexpected for me... Maybe I was just wrong trying this with 'su' as root instead of properly being logged in with 'su -'. Having a DISPLAY=:0 set but being disallowed from using it, may not be expected. Jan Henrik
