I also thought the problem was using the Terminal window and not the
X11 window, but, interestingly, typing ccp4i in a Terminal window,
not an X11 window does work.
X11 does need to be installed and running, -- that could be the problem.

(Caveat, this is in 10.4, not 10.5 - I have 10.5 but haven't
installed it yet because of the coot discussions)
