I want to run cmake ( A build tool) which has a QT-GUI on my Ubuntu Server VM. I am currently getting the following error:

cmake-gui: cannot connect to X server

I would really appreciate any help or guidance on what to do to get it going.
I believe that the server edition misses on GUI front for the Ubuntu, but is there any way I can the application working. Running a full-fledged Ubuntu VM is heavy.

    I ended up installing xfce over the installation. I am new to building tools in this fashion; apathies of a Java developer and am also restricted by the installation instructions. But learning to build from scratch is on my list now for sure. Besides I ran into some other dependency issues while installing VTK. Thanks for the help. – Darshan Pandit Mar 03 '14 at 07:34
