I tried running the mc cgi on my server last night but the required X 
libraries were missing.  I tried downloading some compiled versions of 
the .so libraries but they did not work (possibly compiled on a 
different architecture then the pair server is running).  Pair support 
said they don't support things that link to X or X libraries so I would 
have to compile them myself I guess.  Does anyone know why the engine 
links to these libraries?  What does it do exactly?  My only experience 
with X is for graphical interface.
