What are you using to connect to the remote host? You need to be
running an X server in your local computer (to run any graphical
programs, not just IDL). Windows does not come with one. Common
choices for Windows X servers are Xming, Cygwin and X-Win32.

Now I am using IDL remotely connecting to unix system.
And I am sorry but I am not good at using unix system, so that I do
not know which graphical interface work.
Is there any command to create window in the unix system?

Try using
ssh -X user@host
when you are connecting to the machine where you run IDL on.

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.
