Graphics packages for UNIX systems

Use the instructions provided here to resolve the error generated while running the CE without required graphics packages.

If the required graphics packages are not installed on UNIX systems, the following error might occur later when you run the ibmditk command to start the Configuration Editor:

No fonts found; this probably means that the fontconfig library is not correctly 
configured. You may need to edit the fonts.conf configuration file. 
More information about fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manual page 
and on http://fontconfig.org

To avoid such errors complete the following steps:

1. Ensure that the following graphics packages are installed on UNIX systems:

   • libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
   • libgthread-2.0.so.0

2. Run the following command:

   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/sfw/lib/:/usr/lib:/lib
   

3. Install or ensure that the following file is installed:

   /etc/fonts/fonts.conf
   

4. Run the following command:

   export FONTCONFIG_PATH=/etc/fonts
