ds9 command error

[ogsrotag2423]

I get the following error message when I try to execute the "ds9" command outside of iraf.

_X11TransSocketINETConnect() can't get address for /tmp/launch-G0KLYn/:6000: nodename nor servname provided, or not known
Application initialization failed: couldn't connect to display "/tmp/launch-G0KLYn/:0"
Error in startup script: invalid command name "option"
while executing
"option add {*Entry*BorderWidth} 1"
(file "./zvfsmntpt/src/ds9.tcl" line 10)

I am using the scisoft package in Mac OS 10.5.2. IRAF seems to work fine except that I had to manually do mkiraf since the command didn't seem to work. Has anyone seen that error? Any ideas?

Thanks,
BJ
