Why be imprecise like this? Why not type out the exact error message?
Anyway, it *maybe* sounds like X isn't installed. I would try
"apt-get install xorg". If that actually installs a bunch of stuff,
then the guess was correct.
And, if X isn't installed, then it's possible that your chosen desktop
environment isn't installed either. So you might need to install that
as well.
