If you are still getting errors, then there is something else
going on on your system.

- are you running directly on the console or are you running
through a remote X-term?
- what X server are you running?
- are there any log files being generated in your install
directory (something like hser*)?

Okay, thanks for that info.

There should be more to this error in the terminal window where you
are running this from after you click OK on the error dialog.  
Can you send the complete listing from the terminal window where
you are running the runIDV script?  There are several reasons
why you could be getting the null GraphicsConfiguation message
so I need to see the entire listing from the terminal window.

Let's get the IDV running first before we attack the
form problem.
