Hi,
I have a small experimental setup of Linux (LoopLinux + some Slackware
packages) residing in a FAT-file (ext2fs on loopback device;-). No
X-Window (X11) installed.
I downloaded Icon v9.4.0 plus the basic IPL. When I tried to run
simple text-mode programs from the IPL (e.g. animal.icn), the
execution stage (iconx, I presume) complained about
libX11.so.6 missing :-((
- and stopped.
Obviously iconx always tries to contact X11 whether it is actually
needed or not.
Is there some easy way out?
I neither want to install XFree86, nor build a non-graphical version
of Icon from the _sources_. (Not enough disk space for this
experimantal setup.)
TIA,
