Bridger,
Because ibtool runs from the command line, it is executed without a
connection to the window server so it can be run remotely in non-
graphical login sessions. This environment might exist, for example,
on a build server with nobody logged in at the console.
You'll need to find another way to crop your image. This post by Ken
Ferry might help:

It turns out the error is completely different from what I thought
it was
(isn't it always?). It turns out Xcode was omitting part of the

IBTool. When I tried to compile my xib from Terminal, I got this
error:
Description: ibtool encountered an error while loading the ibplugin

SCMercury.framework/Versions/A/Resources/SCThemes.ibplugin.
Error: Error Domain=com.apple.InterfaceBuilder Code=-1

"Interface Builder could not load the 'Themes' plug-in because an

I Googled around a bit, and I know it has something to do with
drawing. In
fact, I have narrowed it down to these lines of code:
NSImage * canvas = [[NSImage alloc] initWithSize: canvas_size];
[canvas lockFocus];
...
[canvas unlockFocus];
This is a vital part of my plugin though. I use this in an NSImage
category
which crops an NSImage. Why does lockFocus cause IB compilation
errors, and
can how can I fix it?
Also, here is the NSImage category in its entirety. I actually took
it from
someone else on this list a while back.
- (NSImage *) imageFromRect: (NSRect) rect
{
NSAffineTransform * xform = [NSAffineTransform transform];
// translate reference frame to map rectangle 'rect' into first
quadrant
[xform translateXBy: -rect.origin.x
yBy: -rect.origin.y];
NSSize canvas_size = [xform transformSize: rect.size];
NSImage * canvas = [[NSImage alloc] initWithSize: canvas_size];
[canvas lockFocus];
[xform concat];
// Get NSImageRep of image
NSImageRep * rep = [self bestRepresentationForDevice: nil];
[rep drawAtPoint: NSZeroPoint];
[canvas unlockFocus];
return [canvas autorelease];
return nil;
}
Thank You,
Bridger Maxwell
