Cannot connect to evince PDF viewer

I am sorry if this is not the place to state this, but I just cannot make evince pdf viewer work with Eclipse Oxygen (Linux). When I run the preview it says:

running: /usr/bin/evince "/home/ssardina/git/papers/17-HRPlanning.git/main-hrfp-ijcai18.pdf" viewer> Failed to connect to Mir: Failed to connect to server socket: No such file or directory viewer> Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused viewer> Cannot parse arguments: Cannot open display:

is there any place where the instructions to connect PDF viewers are given?

Thanks, so glad this project was revived! :-)

OK I think I found a work-around: in preference, I have now setup DISPLAY environment to :0 (this was not in previous versions).

Now evince is launched well.

In addition, I have a script evince_synctex that can do forward+backward view, so I get the whole package! If anybody wants it, let me know, I got it long time ago by putting together different scripts that were around.

The question is whether there is some DOC where we can put this info for other users?

You can add documentation to one of the files in the HTML folder. Make sure you read the contribution guide before you get started. There are a few things you must do before being able to contribute to an Eclipse project.

Thanks @turesheim , will have a look at it.
