MEGAN command line without X11?

[kga1978]

Hi all,

I just install Mac OS 10.8 and it turns out that X11 is no longer part of the install. I have been running MEGAN via X11 in the past (command line), but I'm wondering if there is a way to run it without X11 requirements?

I launch it in 'non-GUI' mode, but apparently it still needs a GUI:

./MEGAN +w +s +g -x <commands>

I have tried various combinations of +g, +w, +s, etc., but it always fails to run with the following (X11 requirement) error:

No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it.
java.awt.HeadlessException

Thanks very much in advance

This might work : http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/
The XQuartz project is an open-source effort to develop a version of the X.Org X Window System that runs on OS X. Together with supporting libraries and applications, it forms the X11.app that Apple has shipped with OS X since version 10.5

If you are not trying to submit a PBS job for megan, you can try the following commands:

./MEGAN +g false -x <commands>

Here is my terminal:

$ MEGAN +g false -x "import blastfile=test.blastx.out meganfile=test.blastx.rma"
