How are you invoking ./raspicamtest ? If you're invoking it over ssh connection, you may need to enable X11 forwarding in your ssh connection. You can't invoke a GUI application over simple SSH connection.

If you're having a linux box, use "ssh -X ..". If using putty, there is a seperate option for X11 forwarding. You will have to enable it from there. Hope it helps.
