    Trying to bringup xterm, getting error "unable to display"

    I need to bringup xterm of remote machine on local machine, I did login to remote and set "export DISPLAY=ip_loca l:0.0", then I issued "xhost +" command, so that I would like to launch GUI window of remote machine locally, I get this error (first I did login to remote and issued these).

    # export DISPLAY=ip_loca l:0.0
    # xhost +
    xhost: unable to open display "ip_local:0 .0"

    any idea?.

    This is a Linux issue not C. What distro?
