RE: [Repast-interest] Help setting up batch version of model

[Nick C. <ntc...@ve...>]

Hi,

Its not that it tries to load the control bar under either one in batch
mode. What it tries to do is query the event queue (mouse clicks etc.) and
see if it needs to handle any of these. Under windows, this queue will
always (I think) exist. On Unix machines without X11 installed or if you are
connecting over a 'plain' ssh connection, this queue does not exist and so
you get the error. This queue is provided by the X11 server so that's why
you see the error.

The latest code in CVS doesn't query this queue at all under batch mode.
That it tries to in batch mode is bug that only surfaces on unix machines
under the conditions mentioned above.
