Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

I get the following error when I run /opt/local/bin/gitk on MacOS 12.7 (M1 ARM): 

% /opt/local/bin/gitk

application-specific initialization failed: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable
Error in startup script: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable
    while executing
"load /opt/local/lib/libtk8.6.dylib"
    ("package ifneeded Tk 8.6.14" script)
    invoked from within
"package require Tk"
    (file "/opt/local/bin/gitk" line 10)

Not sure if this is related to #62988.

Doesn't look like the same error message.

What X server do you have installed? What does echo $DISPLAY say?

I'm assuming that you have an X server installed. If you don't, install ours by running sudo port install xorg-server and following the instructions it prints.
