Re: [mesa-users] remote pgplot

[Robert F. <rjf...@as...>]

When i run things on a cluster i usually get this error message (probably
from leaving the win_flags=.true.)

PGPLOT /xw: cannot connect to X server []
PGPLOT /xw: cannot connect to X server []

but file saving still runs fine, I think as along as X is running you'll be
okay. This is without me doing anything special, though maybe the sysadmins
configured things differently.
