With a headless embedded system you still benefit from having libX11 because then its applications can display windows on the screen of the computer that you use to connect to it. I do that using "ssh -X -C".
If you want to do that then you need to have an X server running right?
You need an X server on the ssh client side. An X client does not connect where you don't tell it to connect. Most of the time that I use "ssh -X -C", I don't have an X server on the machine that runs the X client; and I mean that not only it's not in RAM, it's not on disk either.
Is there any other advantage to having libX11, tcl/tk, etc. other than wanting to ssh -X -C?
you can also connect directly by X11 protocol for the same reason that you can still use Telnet or RSH if you really want to.
I do take your point, but I think you aren't considering all possible applications and environments that Pd might potentially be a part of.
Does that system even support deb or rpm ?
Not now, but it probably will when Open2x have done their work.
Then you can probably re-mention it when they are done with their work if people still use it with 64MB flash. (On the other machine that you mentioned, diskspace is not even an issue.)
