If you are running it via telnet, you may have to:
 1. Set the envoirnment variable DISPLAY. after telneting/rlogging,
   and before running the civclient, type the following:
 setenv DISPLAY <hostname>:0.0

This is for csh (c -shell) only, and <hostname> is the name of the 
computer you are logged into. This means Your computer(localhost)
For bash, there is some equivalent method.

2. if the above dosen't work, befor telneting, type
 xhost + <hostname>

and then follow step 1. WARNING : This does have some security
implications.
