make xconfig fails

make xconfig fails

[Ben Carrell]

Is anyone else experiencing errors like the below when trying to run 
'make xconfig'.   I have tcl/tk install fine, I'm not sure what else to 
check...please help :)

root@london:/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
Application initialization failed: unknown color name "Black"
Error in startup script: can't invoke "button" command: application has 
been destroyed
    while executing
"button .ref"
    (file "scripts/kconfig.tk" line 51)
make: *** [xconfig] Error 1

I remember this happening when DISPLAY variable is not set or X11 server
doesn't allow connections.
(run 'xhost +localhost' as the user of the display, and "export
DISPLAY="localhost:0.0"' as root)
