no x windows part2
so, i'm installing dependencies for drupal on this debian box. it wants php5-gd which has some x windows dependencies. just for the heck of it, i checked imagemagick which has more dependencies. the only thing i can find in the package that might be required by anything is: /etc/init.d/x11-common /usr/X11R6/bin /usr/bin/X11 so, why is it necessary to have the x windows server to convert images?

It is the client libraries, which allow an X11 client program to communicate with an X11 server, if needed. There's a massive difference from being able to connect to an X11 server as a client and requiring a running X11 server to function. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/\_/ signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
