    In IDL 8.0.1 on my MacOSX system running the Server version of the OS, I can't plot to X windows when I run idl from the command line: IDL> plot,findgen(100) % PLOT: Unable to connect to X Windows display: :0.0 % PLOT: Unable to open X Windows display. Is your DISPLAY environment variable set correctly? The X windows plotting works fine from the Development Environment. I can use X windows directly from the command line on my laptop, which running the same installation on my laptop -- same version, environmental variables, etc. The only difference that I can think of is that the laptop is running the standard OS, not the server. Any ideas?

    I found the problem -- on the server, I had added a line to /etc/hosts with the hostname and IP address that was interfering with X11.
