I am attaching the actual error message I am getting when I try to run an
example of Geant4. Geant4 is throwing this error message instead of opening a
OpenGL window.
*************Error****************
Idle> /vis/open OGLIX
G4OpenGLViewer::G4OpenGLViewer couldn't open display.
G4OpenGLImmediateX::CreateViewer: error flagged by
negative view id in G4OpenGLImmediateXViewer creation.
Destroying view and returning null pointer.
ERROR in G4VisManager::CreateViewer during
OpenGLImmediateX viewer creation.
No action taken.
WARNING: No viewer created.

In that case as Geant4 will search for the files under /usr/X11R6, should I
copy/move files from /usr to /usr/X11R6 or is there any work around for this
problem.
Thanks for your help,
Srikanth

First, the x86_64 is properly called amd64 (they were the original
creators of it, Intel only made up that em64t nonsense as a marketing
ploy to keep it from looking like they had egg on their face over being
second to market and not as good).

With the X.org transition, /usr/X11R6 essentially went away and
everything moved under /usr as prescribed by the FHS.

Without an *actual* error message, it really tough to tell what exactly
is missing or going wrong.
