My guess is you're logged into your desktop as a regular user, but
trying to run FlightGear as root (because you just installed it to
/usr/local?).  By default, only the user who logged in can run
programs on the display.  An "xhost +" will turn this off, although
it's probably not a good idea to run FlightGear under your normal
userid.
