Hi, John.

Thanks for your kind advice.

I've set environmental variable as you said export DISPLAY=:0.0

And now it said "Can't open display: :0.0"

I'm also suffering problem in gnuplot, like "Error: Unable to initialize
GTK+, is DISPLAY set properly?"

I think they are related with same problem, but I cannot find solution for
this :<

Sorry for bothering you, and thanks in advance
