Hi Fred, I think the error has nothing to do with PyMOL. If you want to show GUI of an application on a remote machine, you will need some x-windows system.
If your both your remote and local systems are UNIX/LINUX/IRIX/SUN, you can use the "xhost remote_address" command before you launch the application. If your local machine is windows based, then you need a 3rd party software, e.g. x-win32 or hummingbird exceed.
