Check your /tmp/.X11-unix directory. It should be empty, owner root and 
mode 1777 (drwxrwxrwt).

Fix this and try again.

Reasons for failure can be:

- Someone found clever to remove unkown/unused things in /tmp, or 
re-mounted an empty directory over /tmp.
- An X server crashed for some reason and didn't remove /tmp/.X11-unix/X0.
