[Scottish] Which distro

[Joseph Kerr]

Hi Stephen,

Hope you are having a nice Christmas. With regards to the X libraries
problem I have attempted to install other software and I keep getting
the cannot locate the X libraries error. I believe that some
environment variable is supposed to be set. Is there any utility I can
execute to check my X library settings? Thanks.

Joe
