How to find if AIX supports GUI
Hi Everyone
I'm preparing for upgrading an application. The application upgrade documents say the following. its AIX 5.3 Server.
Quote:
If your UNIX machine has an X11 windowing environment, the installer
when initiated will, by default, install the associated extracted
downloaded JRE file and run itself in a graphical user interface (GUI)
mode that is analogous to the Windows version of the installer.
(Therefore no JRE needs to be pre-installed on your machine in order to
run the installer in GUI mode.)
How do I find if my AIX supports the X11 windowing environment?
Thanks.

prima::nox11
Prima::noX11(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Prima::noX11(3)
NAME
Prima::noX11 - Use Prima without X11
SYNOPSIS
use Prima::noX11;
use Prima;
my $error = Prima::XOpenDisplay();
if ( defined $error) {
print "not connected to display: $error
";
} else {
print "connected to display
";
}
DESCRIPTION
Prima will by default connect to X11 server on unix. To use Prima functionality in modules or programs where this default behavior is
undesired, please follow the guidelines below.
No connection
In the beginning of a script or a module that is never intended to connect to X11 display, add this:
use Prima::noX11;
use Prima;
It will be possible to connect to X11 server later on manually.
Manual connect to X11
If connection to X11 is optional, use this code after "use Prima::noX11" was invoked:
my $error = Prima::XOpenDisplay();
if ( defined $error) {
print "not connected to display: $error
";
} else {
print "connected to display
";
}
Checking if GUI functionality is accesiible.
Without X11 connection, no GUI functionality such as screen grabbing will be accessible. In addition to that functionality, windowing
functions will only become accessible after Prima::Application creates a single instance $::application.
Therefore, if $::application is defined, then all GUI functions can be safely used. If, on the contrary, it is not defined, initiate it as
this:
unless ( $::application) {
my $error = Prima::XOpenDisplay();
die $error if defined $error;
require Prima::Application;
import Prima::Application;
}
