linux install: set DISPLAY

Hello all,

    trying to install with

sudo ./ccs_setup_5.2.0.00069.bin

but get an error:  "Please set DISPLAY. Code Composer Studio v5 cannot be installed in console mode."

My problem that even though I'm setting DISPLAY to :0 the installer will still not install and moans at me. Can't find anything on a search for this.

    Hi John,

    what Linux are you using?  Have you seen this page?  Have you run the installer from a terminal?

    John, you might also try a DISPLAY of :0.0 . Some distros seem to like setting the optional screen number.

    Sorry I sort of tired of this and went back to other processors which I can use more easily. Tried DISPLAY=:0 and DISPLAY=:0.0 and neither would do anything at all. Then decided that I'd install as a user. That told me that my Eclipse installation is not an eclipse instillation so I got bored of trying.

    Lets just say that I should use Windows for the quiet life. I'm sure I will some time but for now I'll stick with what I know and use my other processors. I might come back to this as I was asked to teach embedded SW Development by a group and decided that launchpad was a cheap intro device. Arduino would probably be simpler to set up and use across various platforms.

    Anyhow thanks for your help, but still short an IDE. :-(

    Hi John,

    ok, when you come back to this feel free to post again.  Note that the launchpad is currently not supported under Linux so if your plan was to go with the launchpad, this would not have been a solution anyhow unfortunately.

    All the best with development.

    Best Regards,
    Lisa

    Didn't realise that at all. There was a linux installer and I'd assumed that the IDE was built on top of Eclipse which is, sort of, platform independent, I use it now and again but for the most part I'm on Microchip processors, their IDE is built on netBeans, I think.

    Pity about that but there you go. Thanks for your help
