Your PATH is ok in Terminal

It says it can't open display because you have quit X11. X11 is the display.

Please NEVER shut down X11 once it is running. Just let it sit there in the
background. You can close the xterm that X11 pops up, but do not quit X11
itself.

So:

step 1:

Start X11

step 2:

Start Terminal

step 3 (in Terminal):

export DISPLAY=:0.0

step 4 (in Terminal):

scid

It should work.

Then please type ls -l  .profile and let us know what you get back
