OK, now you get it working. The problem you are facing can be caused by,
say, two possibilities:

1. you are not running X-window

2. you tried to run xcrysden remotely (this is not recommended, because
a remote running is very slow). But if you insist then you need to
enable X11 forwarding, e.g., use ssh -X option.
