For Linux the SVG Java libraries (Apache Batik) as used in Cocoon 2 depend on a X display. As Linux can perfectly function without X-Windows this causes some problems for most Linux servers that don't have X-Windows installed. MS Windows and other GUI based os's don't have this problem. > I'm running MacOS X so I installed Xfree86, including Xvfb and used the script >submitted by someone on the list: AFAIK, MacOS X is a GUI operating system, so there should be no problems using the Batik libraries. > if [ "$1" = "stop" ] ; then > # kill off any framebuffer running, kill kill kill :-) > kill -TERM `/sbin/pidof Xvfb` > elif [ "$1"="start" -o "$1"="run" ] ; then > # start up a virtual framebuffer for cocoon2's rendering > Xvfb :1 -screen 0 320x240x24 & > fi > > I called the script xfb and ran it: > > phil% xfb start > > All looked good.

This looks more like a problem with a stylesheet or with Batik itself.
