MAE: Can‘t Open Display Error Message (6/94)

I want to run Macintosh Application Environment (MAE), but when I try to launch MAE I get the following message, "Error: can't open display". What's wrong?

You will get this message when trying to launch MAE on a stand alone machine without IP networking enabled. The solution is to launch MAE with the -display option, setting the display to the loopback address as follows:

<path name>/mae -display 127.0.0.1:0.0
