CPU & Memory X11 Display Problem with Mac OSX after creating new account

For preliminaries, I am on a Mac Pro running 10.5. I am trying to run a program that opens an X11 graphic and plots a mesh. The little program is called showme. It has worked just fine in the past. Up until I had to make a new user account on this machine for myself. Now every time I try to run the program I get an error about not being able to open display. Here is the specific error that I get

Quote:
_X11TransSocketINETConnect() can't get address for /tmp/launch-3pw9FX/:6000: nodename nor servname provided, or not known
Error: Cannot open display.
This is quite frustrating because I know I have been able to successfully run this program in the past. I don't really know all the ends and outs of UNIX so I don't even know how to begin to correct this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

NAME
run--Simulator front-end SYNOPSIS
run [-v] [-p freq] [-m memory] [--sysroot filepath] program DESCRIPTION
Use `run program' to execute a binary by interpreting machine instructions on your host computer. run is the same emulator used by GDB's `target sim' command. You can run it directly by executing run if you just want to see your program execute, and do not need any debugger functionality. You can also use run to generate profiling information for analysis with gprof. OPTIONS
-v Verbose output. Display the name of the program to run before execution; after execution, display the number of instructions exe- cuted, the number of machine cycles emulated, the number of pipeline stalls, the real time taken, the emulated execution time taken, and a summary of how much profiling information was generated. -p freq Generate profile information (for use with gprof). freq is the profiling frequency. Write the profiling information to a file called gmon.out. -m memory Set the memory size for the emulated machine to two to the power memory. The default value is 19, emulating a board with 524288 bytes of memory. --sysroot filepath Prepend filepath to all simulator system calls that pass absolute file paths. Change working directory to filepath at program start. Not all simulators support this option; those that don't, will ignore it. SEE ALSO
