wkhtmltopdf needs a X server. If you're running your application on a VPS, you probably don't have one installed. The solution is install a "virutal" X server.
To install wkhtmltopdf in a Debian/Ubuntu server, follow this steps(as root):
apt-get install wkhtmltopdf
apt-get install xvfb
echo 'xvfb-run --server-args="-screen 0, 1024x768x24" /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf $*' > /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh
chmod a+x /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh
ln -s /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
