Re: [be] new computer -- now what?

Solved --

Thank you folks. It was x11. When I installed xcode, I noticed an x11 app that installed, but apparently it is only for development. I needed to install the xquarts app located here http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/ . So we're back in business.

Thank you.

Brian

This means that the environment variable  DISPLAY isn't set properly, or
you don't have X installed/running at all (macs don't always, from what
I've read).
on linux you'd probably want to type
export DISPLAY=:0
bibledit-gtk

or maybe "DISPLAY=localhost:0"
