Anytime you get a 'dgl' error you cannot run it on an X terminal. GL is SGI's, um,
emerging standard for a graphics language. If you are trying to run 3rd party software,
you might ask if they have an X version as well as a GL version. We run the Biosym
software and the distribution contains both. If it's one of the IRIX programs (like
jot) you are out of luck and will have to find some pd software that will do the
trick for you (like emacs ;-).
