Another guess is that the X server is not started and show doesn't
know how to identify it. With imagemagick installed, I got the same error
as you, even with Xwindows started. I'm guessing that we are
not interfacing properly with the X server. It appears display has an option
for naming the Xwindows server but I don't know how to use it.
In the case of linux, I can run "display" on the command line and
imagemagick will start. With an intel mac running OS10.4, I just get
a help screen printout.
