I am trying to run the source code from MATIAS GIOVANNINI's wonderful article 
Aperiodic Tilings:

  http://alaska-kamtchatka.blogspot.com/2008/08/aperiodic-tilings.html

but just get this error:

$ ocamlopt unix.cmxa -o tiling tiling.ml
$ ./tiling
Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console
Could not get a file descriptor referring to the console

I'm using Debian. What's the solution?!

The responsible is function 'show' (Line 153).
It forks (Unix.system) a Unix command to display a postscript file.

The postcript viewer used is /usr/bin/open (?)

Just replace /usr/bin/open  by a Postscript viewer,
installed on your machine. The viewer should take the name
of the postscript as its command line argument.
