XORG with plesk

H

Guest
I am not a Unix man.
In order to generate some images with java, I need to install xorg on a box with fedora 6 and plesk 8.1.
My courageous provider says that it is not supported and that I have no garanties not to break everything.
I find quite surprising that a package (apparently supplied on the machine) can break everything and that it is not advisable to run xwindows with plesk.
I can't find any info on the subject (I looked everywhere I could think of).
Can anybody help?

You probably dont reall need to install all of X, just some of the support libraries for it. Try this:

yum groupinstall "X Software Development"

and then just to be safe:

yum update
 
Thank a lot for the answer,
I am progressing but still getting errors.
Do I have to lauch the X server? and how?

All fine now. Some options in Java and a few code modifications made it work.
Thanks again.
