The QT packages should be part of your Linux distribution (which
distribution do you use?) and that includes qt4-doc.

kmchart is a graphical application, so under *nix needs an X server
to talk to.  Can you run any X applications there?  If "xcat20mn" is
a server with no graphics hardware, you should install kmchart on
your desktop and use the "-h xcat20mn" option on the command line,
or specify that host at run time through the graphical interface.

No, that wouldn't cause the above problem.

kmchart is a standalone graphical application, so the graphs are
displayed in the kmchart window.  You can also make kmchart create
images from the command line, suitable for display in a web browser
(thats what kmsnap is all about, that I refered to earlier).

Theres an online tutorial about kmchart at this URL:
