I didn't try Self on unix, but to me this suggests it cannot connect to your X terminal.
Are you running self as another user than your X session?
Are you running it on another machine? (if so use unix command 'xhost')
Is the shell environment variable $DISPLAY set? (check with 'echo $DISPLAY', it should probably be set to ':0.0')
Ooops, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention the environment: The unix machine is a Sun Ultra60 running Solaris 2.6 My client machine is a Dell NT4.0 running Exceed. All unix apps display themselves correctly on my PC (eg. xterm etc). Indeed, running the Demo.snap, creates two blank X windows with the title "Self 1" and "Self 8".
thanks,
Bharat

So the Xserver seems reachable for Self. Maybe Self is trying to connect to some other service on either the Xserver or the Sun.
So shooting in the dark:
If the sun has a graphics display, can you run self locally on that machine?
If you have a unix-based Xserver, can you run Self on that terminal? (assuming this unix terminal has the service Self is looking for)
Perhaps someone else here can fire up self on unix from a remote Xserver and then report on the connections in use (or that Self is broken)?
HTH,

I've seen this before :-(
Try switching your Dell to 256 colors before starting up Exceed and it should work. I did half of the job to make Self run on screens with more than 256 colors, but then got stuck in the mask generation code.
Your reference to "connect: Connection refused" made me think the same thing as Reinout Heeck (that you had not run xhost), but since you do get blank windows, the number of colors is likely to be the problem.
We need to fix this...
