This is just a guess, but I took a look at getDisplay.cpp (from xplanet),
and it appears that the error you're seeing is the result of a problem
with the X11 libraries on your system. (xplanet can't find then when
it is run.)
I would suspect your Linux distribution is broken, or wasn't installed
completely or correctly.
Again, not seeing it I can't tell for sure... it's just a guess...
