Krishna,
Review the ssh and sshd man pages. When using ssh -X it takes care of
defining the DISPLAY and sending the X11 images to your screen.
Defining DISPLY directly generally won't work (that is how you do it
with rlogin but not with ssh).

Hi Rolf,
Thanks for that. There is still one minor problem,
though. The xwindow is getting spawned on the remote machine and
not on my local machine. It now looks like,
mpirun --prefix /usr/local -hostfile machines -x DISPLAY -x PATH -
np 2 xterm -e gdb peruse_ex1
Please let me know what i can do to have it displayed
on my machine. I have the DISPLAY variable set to 0.0 on both the
machines and I am ssh-ing into the other machine by using the -X
switch.
Thanks,
Krishna Chaitanya

I also do the the following:
-x DISPLAY -x PATH
In this way, both your DISPLAY and PATH settings make it to the
remote node.
