You probably don't have a $DISPLAY variable set in your shell / lisp
process.  Are you running X11.app?  If not, that's the first mistake;
if so, then either running your lisp or emacs from the xterm (as
opposed to Terminal.app) or exporting DISPLAY=0.0 from your shell
before starting your lisp should help.
