Hi Tubois 

I had a similar problem when installing on an Ubuntu 12.04 machine (I am not sure which OS you are using) The problem was solved by installing the following packages: 

mesa-utils 
libx11-* 
libxt-dev 
xfonts-100dpi 
xfonts-100dpi-transcoded 
xfonts-75dpi 
xfonts-75dpi-transcoded 

Perhaps this will help you determine what packages need to be installed on your system.

Sorry to bother people in the list for this kind of naive question. 

I tried postx on two computers, one my laptop, one cluster in my 
laboratory. 

I got the same screen. It seems to be some graphics issue with the system. 

You can find the screenshot attached here. 

So what should I do? Thank you very much!
