I then open a terminal window

Is this the OSX Terminal application? If so, then you have to set the DISPLAY environment variable explicitly. Running XFree86 only sets DISPLAY for X11-based terminals (xterm, et al.).



, and ssh to a Linux server. I try doing 'gnome-system-monitor' from the command line in my ssh session. I get:

        Gnome / Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

When I do this from any other remote Linux machine, it works okay. Am I running the wrong xfree86 packages, or have I configured something wrong? Or is this impossible on Mac OS X?

Thank you VERY MUCH for your help!

Bruno.
