Hi, sorry if this is a repeat, but an email sent to the cctbx@cci.lbl.gov bounced back to me. We are attempting to install the DIALS package and CCTBX is required for compilation. During compilation of CCTBX, Xrender fails to find the X windows server. OS is Ubuntu LTS 12.04.5

text from console upon failure:

Installing Xrender...

log file is /home/dave/cctbx/build/base_tmp/Xrender_install_log

getting package xrender-0.8.3.tar.gz...

downloading from http://cci.lbl.gov/cctbx_dependencies : local copy is current

using ./xrender-0.8.3.tar.gz (cached)

raise RuntimeError("Call to '%s' failed with exit code %d" % (args, rc))

RuntimeError: Call to './configure --prefix="/home/dave/cctbx/build/base"' failed with exit code 1

Log file indicates everything fine till X is required then :

checking for X... no

configure: error: X is required, but it was either disabled or not found.

any suggestions as to how to proceed would be appreciated

thanks,
