I haven't seen that particular error before, but why are you changing $DISPLAY?

$DISPLAY either needs to be set to <hostname>:<server-num>.<screen> or
a path to a Unix-domain socket (which confusingly sometimes ends in
":0", but the socket path always starts with a "/", and generally is
in someplace writable like "/tmp", not "/Applications"). You can't
mix-and-match the syntax, or point it to an application instead of the
application's socket.

Without changing $DISPLAY, and with XQuartz installed, you should be
able to run a simple X11 client like "xdpyinfo".
