As shipped (4.0.0-2) it requires an Xserver by default, but with a simple symlink change you link with the no-xserver-required version. I made X the default because the X version is 'complete' -- the no-xserver-required version doesn't implement EVERY function in libXpm (although I've never found an app that was upset by these omissions). --Chuck -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
