SUPPORT / SAMPLES & SAS NOTES
Problem Note 42860: The SAS/GRAPH® ACTIVEX device driver might abend on UNIX when no X Windows display is available
 |  |  |  |
Error messages might be written to the SAS® Log when using the ACTIVEX device driver on a UNIX host machine. These error messages will occur when SAS is not running in an X Windows display environment or when using the NOTERMINAL invocation option.
*
For software releases that are not yet generally available, the Fixed
Release is the software release in which the problem is planned to be
fixed.
When this occurs, error messages similar to the following will be written to the SAS Log:
Segmentation Violation In Task [ GCHART ]

gchanno+0x0022c
- /local/applis/ITRM32/install/SASFoundation/9.2/sasexe/sasgchar
To circumvent the problem, either switch to a device driver other than ACTIVEX, such as the PNG device driver, or run SAS within an X Windows display environment and do not invoke SAS with the NOTERMINAL option.
