You need to run "xhost +" from your *** own host machine *** and then
type, in csh, setenv DISPLAY <Your node name (IP Addr)>:0.0 from remote machine

you must be running it on a remote machine - that message as if
the DISPLAY variable is not set...

I would test by running xterm, and see if you get the same message, or
something similiar.. try
man xterm
to see the options for remote display

in a nutshell; probably
export DISPLAY=###.###.###.###:0.0
or some variation depending on you shell.
