How are you running it? SSH session or via a Linux desktop? The GLib- line is not necessarily a problem - I don't know that one, but some X programs are a bit 'chatty' as regards warnings. Programs spit these messages out on the console but otherwise seem to work normally. 'No display specified' means you don't have an X session, and something wants to open a graphical window. I don't know why that might be, it'll depend on what you're doing. A couple of solutions... one is to install vncserver and run things from within a VNC session. That should mean your DISPLAY variable is set up right. An alternative is to install Xvfb and do: Xvfb :99 export DISPLAY=localhost:99 which will give you a virtual X session (that goes nowhere) but should at least stop complaints about lack of X server. Note if you SSH then ssh -X will forward X over your SSH tunnel, so you can start program on machine A and have it displayed on machine B. So you can build somewhere that isn't your local machine if you choose. For instance, ssh -X from a Mac to a Linux box and XQuartz on the Mac will display Linux programs. Can you pin it down to which component is complaining? My guess would be it's something in your build, not to do with the AB_HG as such.
