Masoud,
This is not a problem specific to ECCE, but is related to your setup/environment for any X Windows based application (e.g. xclock, xterm) as well as ECCE. The solution depends on what platform you are accessing the machine running ECCE from (Linux, Mac, Windows), how you are accessing it (ssh?), or whether you are directly logged onto the Linux machine where you are running ECCE. I suggest finding a system administrator at your university who is familiar with X Windows enough to get you going. The way to approach this is to ignore that you want to use ECCE and just try to get a simple X Windows app working like xterm. When that is working, go back to ECCE and it should work. In years gone past the practice was to explicitly set the $DISPLAY variable and then issue xhost commands. But, that is almost never done these days with security concerns and features like ssh X port forwarding setting these things automatically.
Best regards,
Gary Black, ECCE project lead
