[Jim Mattingly]

That worked! Simply downloaded XQuartz, and now the PSPPire command starts the program. Thanks!

I don't think that is the reason.  Rather, it seems that you have no X server running.  Try typing
"xdpyinfo" I'm guessing you'll get the same error message - In fact you are probably unable to
run any graphical programs?

You need to install and start an X server.  I'm not a Mac user so I don't know
how to do this.  You will have to ask a Mac expert.
