I hope it doesn't sound too condescending, but do you have X11
installed? I used "fink" to install a variety of Unix-like tools,
and it installs X11 in the process.

I am new to UNIX, so the process has been a bit rocky - but - makeall install and makeall library worked out (mostly) fine, and I changed the /etc/profile file to include RAYPATH, and everything seemed to be working fine. Commands like genprism work and the .oct file built OK. However, when I went to run rview I get this error:
