I think I broke it....

I was trying to install gcc on my solaris 2.6 box... and I kept encountering an error that was probably due to the lack of allocated space to the /var/spool/pkg...

For some reason... I'm still trying to figure this out... I make symbolic links to every instace of /spool I could find... I then accidently deleted /spool under /var/spool... which happened to be a symbolic link to ../var/spool or something...

Anyways... I started making alot of links... now whenever I try to get something going... like dtpad or dterm... I get the following error:

Error: Can't open display: :0.0

All help will be greatly appreciated.
