If you use batik for rendering SVGs you need an X-Server running or Java
configured to run headless (java.awt.headless=true). As the latter may
introduce some problems (according to
http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=Cocoon2.1m2SetupLinuxredhat8.0) 

I start Xvfb from a start script (on RedHat 7.3):

        export DISPLAY=:1
        if [ ! -f /tmp/.X1-lock ]; then
                /usr/X11R6/bin/Xvfb $DISPLAY -screen 0 800x600x8 &
        else
                echo "X-Server already running"
        fi
