socket not opening

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I started with $glvis <enter> and the system remains hanging with message 
"Waiting for data on port 19916 ... ". I am using OpenSuse 12.3 and firewall is 
not running. The internet connection is behind proxy (which I do not think 
matters). Since socket was not opened running "./glvis -m 
../mfem/TESTING_by_VEGA/refined.mesh" gives error messages like "Generating 
coloring starting with element 9297 / 39424
Number of colors: 4
X Error of failed request:  BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  53 (X_CreatePixmap)
  Resource id in failed request:  0x5000004
  Serial number of failed request:  41
  Current serial number in output stream:  42"

Can you kindly help me?

Running glvis without options starts the glvis 'server mode' (see
http://code.google.com/p/glvis/wiki/OptionsAndUse) -- in this mode glvis
waits for socket connections from other programs (like mfem's examples)
to send data for visualization.

When you run glvis with the '-m <mesh-file>' option, the error you get is
the same as issue 5 -- see that issue for some suggestions on how to resolve it.
