"cannot open display"


Hello,

I have recently installed the entire Cywin package on my Dell Dimension 3000, Windows XP. It works fine until I run xmgrace, or xfig. Then I get the error message "cannot open display". I have tried "export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0", and "startxwin.bat". They give me the message below:

Any advice you can send me will be most welcome.

Thanks,
Richard Goldstein  (bg573@lafn.org)
