The link I should have sent was: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/support/help/MailArchives/idv/msg01015.html Its not the Java3d that is causing you a problem. It is that the machine you run the IDV on has to have a windowing system running (e.g., X windows, MS windows). If you are just planning on generating image products using the IDV scripting language (ISL) you can use the XVFB program to provide a virtual X windows environment. -Jeff Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: CUI-983043 Department: Support IDV Priority: Normal Status: Open
