What happens if you try this command on your system? That is, if you
type
ALTERNATE_EDITOR='' emacsclient -t -c
What I see on a typical GNU/Linux system is this:
/home/e/eliz/emacs-current/lib-src/emacsclient: can't find socket; have you
started the server?
To start the server in Emacs, type "M-x server-start".
Warning: due to a long standing Gtk+ bug
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85715
Emacs might crash when run in daemon mode and the X11 connection is
unexpectedly lost.
Using an Emacs configured with --with-x-toolkit=lucid does not have this
problem.

Starting Emacs daemon.
Restarting server
Emacs daemon should have started, trying to connect again
and then I see an Emacs frame (in text mode in this case, since -t was
used) open. As you see, after warning me about no daemon running,
emacsclient starts a new daemon, then attempts to reconnect to it.
What happens if you try that?
