fastQC

[papori]

Hi,
i am trying to test my data quality by fastQC.
i have PE data.
When i execute this line:
./fastqc file.fastq

i am getting this warning:
...........
Approx 100% complete for file.fastq
Analysis complete for file.fastq
(.:922): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

and i am getting a corrupt zip file:
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 6924 Feb 1 06:26 i-a_file.fastq.zip

Can anyone help??

It's trying to launch the graphical interface to FastQC. Try specifying --outdir and setting an output directory, it should just write the files into there without launching the GUI.

Perhaps you are su'd into the root account? I wouldn't generally advise running any application as the root user by the way.
