[Paraview] InitializeTcl failed/no $DISPLAY environment variable errors (paraview on intel mac)

[Jared Hawkins]

hey again,

so, to follow up on my previous email, i have also tried to build 
paraview directly from the source code (following the wiki's 
instructions and making the necessary adjustments to ccmake options such 
as adding WI,-search_paths_first to the listed linkers)

the make of the program appears to work fine

afterwards, i try to run ./paraview (from the /bin directory) and i get 
the same error messages as when i was trying to run the pre-compiled 
binaries:

    ParaView error: InitializeTcl failed
    TK_Init error: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable


very frustrating.....i could use some help!!
