[xcrysden] Error when initiating XCrysDEN

[Gavin Abo]

On your Windows system:

What X server are you using [1]? Xming?
Do you have the "Enable X11 Forwarding" box checked in PuTTY [2]?

On the cluster:

Is X11 forwarding (like X11Forwarding or ForwardX11 or 
ForwardX11Trusted) set to Yes [1,3,4]?
What Mesa (or OpenGL) did you compile XCrySDen with [5]?
Did you try "export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1" [6,7]?
