FOP Linux Display Error - works fine on Windows
When running FOP version 0.95 on Linux I get the following error:
Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
Running the same request through FOP on Windows works fine. I've also tested
using RenderX on Linux and that works fine
I've researched the forums and fop faq, but there is scant information on
this issue.
Does FOP need X and a DISPLAY defining to run under Linux? If so, what is
the recommended configuration?
Thanks in advance for any help, as an FOP newbie it's much appreciated.
Cheers
Andy

Andy, please switch to a Sun JDK or OpenJDK on your Linux. GCJ causes
too many problems with FOP.

Thanks Pascal, that clears up the reasons for the issues we've been having.
I have tried using the -Djava.awt.headless=true command line option, but
this doesn't seem to have any effect - the $fop_exec_command that we're
generating is below:
exec "/usr/lib/jvm/jre/bin/java" -Djava.awt.headless=true -classpath
"/T2009/fop-0.95/lib/xmlgraphics-commons-1.3.1.jar:/T2009/fop-0.95/lib/xml-apis-ext-1.3.04.jar:/T2009/fop-0.95/lib/xml-apis-1.3.04.jar:/T2009/fop-0.95/lib/xercesImpl-2.7.1.jar:/T2009/fop-0.95/lib/xalan-2.7.0.jar:/T2009/fop-0.95/lib/serializer-2.7.0.jar:/T2009/fop-0.95/lib/commons-logging-1.0.4.jar:/T2009/fop-0.95/lib/commons-io-1.3.1.jar:/T2009/fop-0.95/lib/batik-all-1.7.jar:/T2009/fop-0.95/lib/avalon-framework-4.2.0.jar:/T2009/fop-0.95/build/fop.jar:/T2009/fop-0.95/build/fop-sandbox.jar:/T2009/fop-0.95/build/fop-hyph.jar:"
org.apache.fop.cli.Main "-xml" "test.xml" "-xsl" "test.xsl" "-pdf"
"testX.pdf"
We're executing this from a script with the following line:
eval $fop_exec_command
But we still get the display error, unless we set the X display. Fyi the
java version we're running is :
$ java -version
java version "1.4.2"
gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-44)
Any ideas why this isn't working?
Thanks
Andy

Hi,
Batik (SVG engine) needs a graphical environment.
See [1] for some workarounds..
