If it is running, then check to make sure your hostname is resolvable.
AFAIK, liblo still doesn't gracefully handle not being able to resolve
the hostname.  A quick fix can be adding your IP and hostname to
/etc/hosts.

Another thing to try is running the GUI in standalone test mode.
If your hexter is installed in /usr/local, then you would do:

$ /usr/local/lib/dssi/hexter/hexter_gtk -test x x x

and the GUI should start.  If so, then you know you've got the
GUI and supporting libs installed correctly, meaning the problem
is problem the OSC communication between host and GUI.

Hope that helps,
