Install XQuartz, and it's at /opt/X11/bin/xclock.

Follow the steps on the FAQ that I pointed you to.  What does each step report for you?

The remote machine is not known to work correctly.  That's the point.  Given that DISPLAY is unset on the remote and you're using ssh -X, the issue is either:
    DISPLAY isn't set locally
    sshd on the remote is not configured to allow X11 forwarding
    ssh had issues connecting to the DISPLAY socket

Following the steps I pointed you to will indicate which of those problems you are facing.

Oracle VirtualBox (or some Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion as evaluation download) plus some Oracle Solaris or Linux or MS Windows (Server) appliance (plus Cygwin or such for MS Windows). Even easier, doesn't your friend (neighbour?) have a Mac? (And where is your previous one?)
