 Well then... that would explain that part of it.

 An errno of 61 is ECONNREFUSED - which means the connection was refused;
as if you're not running an X server, or not pointing to the right one.

 Display #1 for your local machine is at port 6001 (the normal display
is on port 6000).  You need to have an X server listening on 6001 as well
as 6000.  (Although, in /etc/services, it lists ports 6000-6063 as ports
for the X11 server - you may not actually have one listening there.)

 Maybe it wants to be "<some-machine>:0" ?
