If your PC runs an X server, then you can run nam remotely and have it opens the display on your PC. Are you running an X server on your PC? If you are not, you need to find one. From ITS, you can download XWin: http://www.usc.edu/its/doc/internet/xservers/xwin32/5.2/index.html Alternatively, you can run nam when you are on campus. If you are running an X server and you ssh'ed to nunki and you are getting this error, you need to enable X11-forwarding. For example, if you are running cygwin, you need to run ssh with either the -X or -Y commandline option. -- Bill Cheng // bill.cheng@usc.edu
