Grace: Can't open display

[Marcelo Chiapparini]

Hi! thanks for the update! After installing xclock, I get the same error

Nostromo3:~ Marcelo$ xclock
Error: Can't open display:
Nostromo3:~ Marcelo$

The saga continues... the problem seems to be with ~/.bash_profile file, I
think, because I don't have any one...
