I'm pretty sure you're right. On linux (or any nix, I'd image), you have to have various parts of X (or some other gui system) installed on the machine for certain things to work. Fonts, in particular, require font libraries to be available. I ran into the same problem trying to use CFCHART on a linux box. I just installed X from my CDs, and it worked. Just make sure you secure the various services it includes.
