Setting Required Environment Variables

To run a networked application on a remote machine you must set your environment variables correctly, as follows:

• The DISPLAY environment variable in your shell on the remote machine must be set to your local screen

• The LANG environment variable in your shell on the remote machine must be set to zh, zh.GBK or zh.UTF-8.

• If the OpenWindows libraries have not been installed in the standard /usr/lib or /usr/local shared library directories, you must set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to the appropriate directory ($OPENWINHOME/lib)

Typically, an application uses the value of the LANG environment variable to set each category that has not been set explicitly using LC_XXX.
