I have imagemagick-6.3.0.5 installed on a server running Gentoo which is |
| 2 |
connected by VPN to my desktop, also running Gentoo Linux. I allow the |
| 3 |
X server on my desktop to accept connections from clients on the server. |
| 4 |
This works with no problems. I can run xeyes on the server and the eyes |
| 5 |
show up on my desktop. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
On the other hand, if I run display, from the ImageMagick suite to try |
| 8 |
to display an image file I get only the self-doc from the program. |

Debugging with '-debug all' shows the following: |

2007-03-27T11:22:25-05:00 0:01 0.020u 6.3.0 Exception display[11712]: display.c/unknown/1741/Exception |
| 12 |
X Window library is not available `' |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
The system has x11-libs/libX11-1.0.3 installed on it, and also |
| 15 |
xorg-x11-7.0-r1, even though it never runs an X server, only X clients |
| 16 |
with DISPLAY pointing to another box. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
I've been running display successfully from another server, running |
| 19 |
Debian. It also runs locally on my desktop with no complaints. Does |
| 20 |
anyone have any idea what display on the Gentoo server box might be |
| 21 |
looking for, or how to provide it? |
