That means IDL cannot open a window, but the problem is unrelated to
the window command. From that, I would guess that neither idlde, or
directly calling any IDL routine that needs graphics would work.

This suggests that either there is no X server running, or that
DISPLAY is set to the wrong X server. Either way, it is not an issue
specific to IDL.

How are you running IDL on that computer? Are you using the computer
directly, or remotely? Do any other programs with a graphical
interface work? xclock is a commonly present lightweight program that
can be used to test this.
