0000546: gtk error: can't run on a linux server
I created a mao file using mega-proto and tried to use mega-cc on linux server to perform the calculations.
I thought running a command-line mega-cc wouldn't require graphical interface, but I got GTK error:
(megacc:26799): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

This the info about the server I used:
$ uname -a
Linux 4.9.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.18-1~bpo8+1 (2017-04-10) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Is there any way to run mega-cc on a server? And is there a way to perform mega-cc calculation on a linux cluster in parallel (SGE)?
Thanks in advance,
Evgeny
Just run mega-cc with any parameters on a linux machine with no graphical interface.
No tags attached.

Hi Evgeny,

I am writing in response to your question regarding the megacc software. To run megacc on a headless server you can use x11 forwarding (or install a gui). As far as running megacc in a cluster environment, you can run multiple calculations simultaneously but any given calculation will run only on a single cluster node.
