I can't open an xterm, due to the error. There is something still wrong:

michaelrogers:~ michaelrogers$ export DISPLAY=:0.0
michaelrogers:~ michaelrogers$ xterm
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: :0.0
michaelrogers:~ michaelrogers$

Time to try something else. I once set a bunch of Xterm parameters on my mac in an attempt to get it to be a remote terminal for my Linux box at school, to run mentorgraphics remotely from home using Xterm from my mac. I have no memory of what we did to it at that time, maybe the old settings are interfering now, even though I have a different version of X11 running than I did at that time? What is the file that contains all that stuff? What should be in there? .Xauthority is comletely empty.

You're almost there.

You can either type 'export DISPLAY=:0' from Terminal.app, or open an
xterm and run '. /sw/bin/init.sh'. Then run gschem.
