Checking for availability is pretty simple:
  • If your workstation runs some kind of UNIX, you probably have it
  • If your workstation runs Windows, and the IT department set it up, you probably don't. Check with them to see if you're allowed to install it.
  • If your workstation runs Windows, and you set it up yourself, you'd know if you have it or not.

It's not mandatory to have X11. You could always install TCL, Tk, and some other dependencies on your local machine in order to have your app run locally.
Or you could install an X11 VNC server on the remote machine.

   Modules

Detailed Description
       API provided by libm17n-gui.so.

       GUI support for a window system.

       This section defines the m17n GUI API concerning M-text drawing and inputting under a window system.

       All the definitions here are independent of window systems. An actual library file, however, can depend on a specific window system. For
       instance, the library file m17n-X.so is an example of implementation of the m17n GUI API for the X Window System.

       Actually the GUI API is mainly for toolkit libraries or to implement XOM, not for direct use from application programs.
