Thanks Simon,

Where can I find the the configure output?

As to whether I have put /usr/X11/bin on my PATH, I edited the two  
files that --- according to my limited knowledge of Unix --- might be  
relevant. The problem persists.

****************
cat .cshrc:
****************

set path=($path /opt/local/bin /Applications/~LocalApps/sound/Cog)
if (! $?DISPLAY && ! $?SSH_CONNECTION ) then
   setenv DISPLAY `ps -ax | grep X11.app |  grep -v Xauthority  | grep  
-v grep | awk '{print $7}' `.0
     if ( $DISPLAY == '.0' )then
        setenv DISPLAY :0.0
     endif
   echo "lias SetTitle 'settitle \[tcsh\]\ \ \ $HOST:r:r\:\:$cwd '
alias cd 'cd \!*;SetTab;SetTitle'
SetTitle;SetTab

set prompt="tcsh-% "

ISPLAY has been set to $DISPLAY"
endif

test -r /sw/bin/init.csh && source /sw/bin/init.csh

set path=(/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin  
$path)

if ( -d /sw/bin ) then
	source /sw/bin/init.csh
endif

if (! $?DISPLAY && ! $?SSH_CONNECTION ) then
   setenv DISPLAY `ps -wwx | grep -F X11.app | awk '{print $NF}' |  
grep -e ":[0-9]"`.0
     if ( $DISPLAY == '.0' )then
        setenv DISPLAY :0.0
     endif
   echo "DISPLAY has been set to $DISPLAY"
endif

alias settitle 'echo -n "

set path=(/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin  
$path $PATH /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/X11/bin)

****************
cat .bashrc:
****************

if [[ -z $DISPLAY && -z $SSH_CONNECTION ]]; then
     disp_no=($( ps -ax | grep X11.app | grep -v Xauthority | grep -v  
grep | awk '{print $7}' ))
     if [[ -n $disp_no ]];then
         export DISPLAY=${disp_no}.0
     else
         export DISPLAY=:0.0
     fi
     echo "DISPLAY has been set to $DISPLAY"
fi
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_CTYPE
export PATH="/usr/X11/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/ 
sbin:$PATH"
