[PLUG] Can't compile kernel on Libranet

[Michael Leone <turgon@mike-leone.com>]

I finally got my retail Libranet CDs, and have it installed, and
updated.

I went to recompile my kernel (to add Win4Lin support), so I downloaded
the kernel sources from kernel.org (for 2.4.16).

However, "make xconfig" gives me:

root@minas-aran:/usr/src/linux# make xconfig
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts kconfig.tk
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.16/scripts'
cat header.tk >> ./kconfig.tk
./tkparse < ../arch/i386/config.in >> kconfig.tk
echo "set defaults \"arch/i386/defconfig\"" >> kconfig.tk
echo "set ARCH \"i386\"" >> kconfig.tk
cat tail.tk >> kconfig.tk
chmod 755 kconfig.tk
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.16/scripts'
wish -f scripts/kconfig.tk
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
Application initialization failed: couldn't connect to display ":0.0"
Error in startup script: invalid command name "button"
    while executing
"button .ref"
    (file "scripts/kconfig.tk" line 51)
make: *** [xconfig] Error 1

Why would the connection be refused? "make menuconfig" works, so I could
use that, but I prefer xconfig.

(and yes, I did this from an xterm in KDE, like I always used to)
