Can IM 'import' on a remote server?

On the server I would like to be able to launch a browser and import the window as an image on the server. I get the following error:

Error: no display specified
import: delegate library support not built-in `' (X11) @ import.c/ImportImageCommand/1289.


I am trying to find a way to use IM to create images of applications/graphs generated on the web. My idea was to export the URL back to the server, launch the url in a browser and convert it to an image using IM. Is this possible using IM?

When you build ImageMagick you need X11 and X11 developer RPM's installed. Next reconfigure / rebuild / reinstall ImageMagick. Now type
  • identify -list configure
Look for x11 associated with the DELEGATES tag.

X11 is installed. I don't know where to find X11 Developer...is that the actual name for the library?
