[Xquartz-dev] Mac OS X 10.11.4

[Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia]

If your DISPLAY environment variable isn't set, that's the problem.  Given that you're using ssh -X, it's likely that the ssh server is configured to disallow X11 forwarding.

See http://www.xquartz.org/FAQs.html, specifically the last couple lines of the section which indicate the need for 'X11Forwarding yes' in sshd_config
