What the messages mean are that the client tried to connect to the
server and failed- there's a retry loop in client.c so that it tries
multiple times before giving up. Do the programs actually start okay
after that, or do they give up trying and exit? If the latter, I would
suspect that either the nano-X server is not running, or the /tmp/.nano-X
file has the wrong permissions (this could happen if you start the server
as root). If it does succeed after a number of attempts, are you by any
chance trying to start your program immediately after the server in a
script? If so, add a small delay between the starting of the server and
the starting of the client in order to give the server a chance to get
started up properly before clients start trying to connect.
