Installation issue on Fedora 16 : Could not display the GUI. This application needs access to an X Server.

Question

Hi there,

I have an issue when trying to install yEd on a Fedora 16 plateform.

When I execute the .sh script, I get the folowing message :
"Could not display the GUI. This application needs access to an X Server "

I am using Gnome3, is it related ?

Any idea ?

(For infornation, before this error I got this one :
 " lib/ld-linux.so.2:bad ELF interpreter "
I resolved it by manually installing  ld-linux.so.2
Not usre if it is related to the actual issue, but just in case )

Thx for any support.
