 Hello,

 I'm not sure it it's the right place to post this but I've just installed
 the gimp on my Mac OS X 10.4.11 PPC (Xcode v2.5) using MacPorts 1.9.2
 (Just a note: I had to select the -atlas variant to install
 py25&py26-numpy).

 When I #gimp I get:

 (gimp:334): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
         Using the fallback 'C' locale.
 Cannot open display:

 I've browsed thru other posts at macports.org on this problem but all of
 them had a display such as ":0.0" but in my case there's no display at
 all. I've tried these:

 setenv DISPLAY :0.0    --> ~/.bashrc
 DISPLAY=:0            --> ~/.xinitrc

 I suspect they are the right thing to do, however.
 What should I do now? Thanks.
