1. Ensure that the X server is actually running.

2. Ensure that the environment variable DISPLAY is set appropriately.

For a Bourne shell (bash, ksh etc), use:

	DISPLAY=:0
	export DISPLAY

For a C shell (csh, tcsh), use:

	setenv DISPLAY :0

If you start the X server as part of a session (e.g. using startx),
any terminals (xterm) which were created as part of the session should
already have DISPLAY set appropriately. OTOH, if you start the X
server directly, you have to set DISPLAY manually.
