gvim cannot open display.

When I start a -- recently installed -- gvim it tells me: `` E233: cannot open display '', and then stays in console mode. This happens on various machines. Is it working for anybody? Am I doing something wromg? L8r, Buzz. -- ) | | ---/ ---/ Yes, this | This message consists of true |
