Daniel, thanks for this, and you to Gavin. You guys were both right. I was trying to run it outside the GUI. It now runs fine within terminal mode for a while, but towards the end I get the following messages: Sh: CD/root/cscmailbuild/DBD-CSV-0.1027: no such file or directory Sh: CD/root/cscmailbuild/HTMLParser-3.25: no such file or directory Sh: CD/root/cscmailbuild/URI-1.17: no such file or directory Sh: CD/root/cscmailbuild/IO-stringy-1.210: no such file or directory I had assumed CSCMailInstaller would create any directories it needed. Is it that I need to manually create these first, or is it failing to find some files do you think? Thanks again for your help.

You usually get the "cannot open display" error when you're not running a GUI, or are running a shell session that doesn't have X forwarding. The best way to check is to see what the $DISPLAY environment variable contains. For example, when I open a terminal and do $ echo $DISPLAY If it's empty, then that's the problem. HTH, Gavin.
