Just a guess, but it looks like it needs opencl installed.

How old of a server is it and does the cpu or video card support opencl?

Nvidia, ATI/AMD, and Intel all have SDKs to get it installed, but it depends on your hardware.

Just FYI CPU mining uses more power than it will gain you mining by leaps and bounds, GPU mining for BTC is all but dead without free power as well, but if you still want to test guiminer you need the opencl installed that supports your hardware.

i think the server doesnt have grpahci card so its CPU mining with stratum proxy.
so i should seek for openGL for it?

CPU mining even for alts consumes more power cost than it produces, but yes sound slike you need opencl.  If you post what CPU is in it we can probably help you find the link to download it.

id atually recomend using something like minerd or cpuminer. there faster than youll get with gui miner and run without opencl. from what iv tested anyhow
