Hello all,

I am building emboss package on our linux cluster. Since it will be for
multiple batch run purpose, there is no need for us to include X11. I got
the following error during 'make install'. Can someone tell me which
programs use X11 and how to turn it off in them before running 'make
install'? Many thanks!!!
