I installed the debian package of hwloc yesterday and discovered that the default action of lstopo is to display a window with a picture in. I guess I don't have the right development packages installed for this to be enabled in my local build.
In my tool I want to ensure the text version is displayed, padb popping up a number of windows isn't what people will expect or want. Obviously I can unset DISPLAY before calling lstopo but a --no-x or --text-based option would be a nice thing to have as well. Ashley, -- Ashley Pittman, Bath, UK.
