Hello,
I tried to install BC on a Linux Server (Ubuntu Server). The Installation worked without problems.
But then I started BC, it says: "cannot connect to x server". As I could see in this BC Forum and on the Website: BC needs a x-window environment.
My Question here is: Is it possible to run BC on a Linux Server by simlating / emulating a x-window environment? Or do I just need the libs of x-window, so I can run it without a GUI.
If its impossible to run BC without a GUI: Is it possible to run BC with a cronjob on a GUI distribution like Ubuntu Desktop?
If BC isnt running without a GUI because of the x-window environment requirement, are you planning on developing a "no-gui" version? (I think there are more than enough demand).
The reason why I'm asking this: I need it for my bachelor thesis. I have the task to automate a Folder/File Compare and implement this in our self-made Management System, which runs on linux servers. I'm developing a GUI in our Management System, which does some work and should start BC via scripts. As well BC should start with a cronjob at regular intervals. After a BC Compare, I gonna read the XML-Files with a XML-Parser and do inserts in SQL-Databases, which can be used by the Management System.
I visited this threads:

http://www.scootersoftware.com/vbull...3-pro-in-LINUX
http://www.scootersoftware.com/vbull...-broken-in-BC3
and it doesn't make me hope.
Regards,
Phil
