Thank you for your detailed description. Please look at what:
> capabilities()
jpeg png tcltk X11 http/ftp sockets libxml fifo
TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE
cledit IEEE754 iconv
TRUE TRUE TRUE
says on your installation. If X11 is FALSE, then you need to be sure that
your system has X11 development libraries installed - with X11 FALSE,
graphics to screen will fail. At the Linux shell prompt (on RedHat EL3,
but also using rpm packages), I see
$ rpm -qa X*devel*
XFree86-devel-4.3.0-95.EL
Your development package may be called something else, but I think that
the development package appropriate for your X11 installation is what you
are missing.
