[brlcad-users] MGED message: "couldn't connect to display host: localhost:0"

[Maelsawi <mae...@ao...>]

I just installed Windows version of BRL-CAD (build BRL-CAD_7.12.2.exe) on my Windows xp laptop. When I tried to run mged by double-clicking its icon on the desktop, the DOS window came up with the message "couldn't connect to display host: localhost:0. MGED unable to initialize gui. Revert to classic mode." how can I fix this?

thanks,
