This means that you don't have Apple's X11 installed. No problem, just a little less convenience. You have to do it by hand:


1. Start X11. Don't use the startx command, but click on the corresponding application. For Apple's X11, this would be X11.app in /Applications/Utilities, in your case it is probably XDarwin.app in /Applications.

2. Set the DISPLAY environment variable in the shell from which you are starting xchat:

  export DISPLAY=:0

3. Start xchat by typing xchat.

There are about 25 other ways to do the same thing, but normally this should work.
