I decided I would start testing Wayland and my machine. I used the script at [url]wayland.freedesktop.org/building.html[/url] in the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR section, putting it in my bashrc to set the environment variable. However, I still get an error message saying that it is unset. Any ideas? I've included the error message printout and my check that the variable is in fact set and the directory exists/has the right permissions.

Code:

$ weston-launch
Date: 2013-09-24 CDT
[13:32:54.315] weston 1.2.1
               http://wayland.freedesktop.org/
               Bug reports to: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Wayland&component=weston&version=1.2.1
               Build: 
[13:32:54.315] OS: Linux, 3.10.7-gentoo, #2 SMP Mon Sep 23 11:10:52 CDT 2013, x86_64
[13:32:54.315] fatal: environment variable XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set.
Refer to your distribution on how to get it, or
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/basedir-spec
on how to implement it.

$ echo $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
/tmp/1000-runtime-dir
$ ls -l /tmp

Thought I would add that I've been able to run it by switching to root and just running 'weston'.
