Hi All,

I installed RedHat 9 on a server but without X Windows and neither Gnome
nor KDE. Now I need to run an application that requires Gnome from
another host.

When I try running 'redhat-config-packages', I get the following error:

##################beginning of error###################################

Unable to import gtk module.  This may be due to running without
$DISPLAY set.  Exception was:
could not open display
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/redhat-config-packages/MainWindow.py", line 11, in ?
    sys.exit(0)
NameError: name 'sys' is not defined

################## end of error###################################

Could anyone please let me know how to install Gnome given the above
scenario?

Thnx in advance.

Vincent.
