("su -" didn't tho, still got the error).
"su -" worked for me, but it would only launch it in the terminal. "su -m" allowed me to have xemacs. I guess I could have ssh'd in, and I don't have sudo installed.
Still "su -m" solved the problem adequately enough.
Thanks! Ricardo

...but do you know why? (Sorry, you have no references headers (broken broken email client), so I can't tell whether it was in the thread already.)

Can't see the rest of the thread (I've just set up this mail account at work) but if you're trying to get a program on a remote server to run in X on your machine:-
1) Set the DISPLAY environment variable on remote server to point to your machine 2) As root on your machine type 'xhost +' 3) Run program on remote server

Make sure you only do it this way on a private (and at least semi-secure) LAN. Doing it over the internet invites nasty people to do nasty things...
