orca setup

[Jan and Bertil Smark Nilsson <bjsn ozemail com au>]

Greetings,

I'm trying to install Orca 0.2.3 for the first time. I've replaced 
configure.in and orca.spec.in with the latest files from CVS in order to 
be able to run

orca --text-setup

in accordance with Will's message on April 25. However when I do that I 
get the message

RuntimeError: could not open display

If I run startx and then run orca-setup an .orca directory is created with 
an empty file called user-settings.py and a subdirectory called 
orca-scripts with a file named __init__.py.

I'm running Fedora FC4 and configured Orca with prefix=/usr, 
sysconfdir=/etc 
and localstatedir=/var.

Does anybody have any ideas as to what the problem might be?

Regards,

Bertil Smark Nilsson
