Pan gives the error because it REQUIRES that you have X running.You have been asked if you are running X, and as yet I have not seen your answer.
You do not have to be running Xwindows to /install/ pan, but you must have it active to start pan.
As previously suggested, if you are only running the login terminal window, and X is not running, try using "startx". If that does not work you may not even have X installed/configured. That would be a separate issue not related to pan, but a requisite for pan to function.
