[gradsusr] Error in GXSTRT: Unable to connect to X server

[Jeff Duda]

You need to install some sort of LINUX emulator device that can bring up a
graphics window.  I'm not too sure on the specifics of that, but try the
product called XWin32.  You can get a 30-day free trial before you have to
pay.  Someone else more knowledgeful of this issue will be able to provide
better assistance, though.
