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.
