Put the following line at the start of your .profile file and Terminal will find
the X11 display properly:

export DISPLAY=:0.0

( You can test this just by typing the above line in a Terminal and then typing
xboard or scid , but unless it is in .profile your Terminal will not remember it
for next time )


Also, what does your

echo $PATH

show?
