That's not true - you should be able to build it without GUI. The only HID 
option will be "batch", and it should work perfectly. In theory you can 
even build it without any HID, but then nothing else but --help would work 
(never tested that setup, tho). You can even run gpmi scripts from the 
batch HID.

This setup may even be useful in some cases: on servers 
converting/generating stuff, e.g. behind a CGI.
