Thanks much, but you must have missed my original post --- I'm already doing that. :)

In my original message I asked why I saw specific Nvidia error messages when using an allegedly non-gui command in a console outside of X. I solved that mystery and was shown that the commands were built with X dependencies.

The discussion since then is why those non-gui commands can't build without the X dependency. My "too bad" comment was in reference to building those commands otherwise. :)
