Sigh. I am not used to feeling this stupid. I'm no genius, mind you. I'm a long-time Mac user, a fairly long-time programmer, but I'm still pretty CLI-illiterate.
All I wanted to do was use Inkscape. Inkscape is a great program, but I really need to be able to open .ai files, and I believe I read somewhere that it relies on ImageMagick. So I d/led IM 6.2.7, compiled and installed it, and used "make check" immediately after, as recommended. It failed 47 of the tests (I have the results if anyone is interested, it's mostly Greek to me, and a *lot* of Greek at that).
It looked, though, like I just might not be able to handle certain formats, and I could still run it. But when I try a command, such as "display [whatever.jpg]", it says "Unable to start 'X' Server".
Isn't that the same thing as X11, the XWindows server? I use X11, and it works fine. What's not working right here?
