Right. I set the path required.
Whenever I attempt to run a program using X I get the error "Can't open display"
I have tried setting DISPLAY to the machine name but it does not work.
How can I set DISPLAY, or is there another problem.

You need to start the X server before you can run any X11
applications. The X server is named XDarwin and lives in
/Applications. Double click on the XDarwin icon to start it. By
default this is will give you a bunch of xterms and twm as your window
manager. Note that if you are running Jaguar you will need to download
the XFree86 4.2.0.1 update from http://sourceforge.net/projects/xonx.
XFree86 4.2.1.1 is also available there and you should do this update
as well after updating to 4.2.0.1.
