Carl,
It's complaining that it can't talk to the client. Possibly a problem
with the $DISPLAY variable. So, lets see what your $DISPLAY is set to.
Near the top of your script, add this:
echo "DISPLAY=$DISPLAY" >/tmp/display.out
Then, try running the script
After it fails, take a look in /tmp/display.out, see what DISPLAY was
set to. That might provide a clue on how to proceed.
It could also be that none of the X11 libraries are available. I don't
think you can use the standard system X11 libraries, because your
program is linked against a much older version of glibc. You may need
to copy the X11 libs into your /usr/local/games/SC3U/loki_compat
directory. But, i've never actually tried doing what you are doing, so
I could be wrong.
