I'm on RHEL 6.6, R version 3.2.1 Patched (2015-07-30 r68761) -- "World-Famous Astronaut". Issuing the x11() command hangs R and does not complete. A window is partially drawn then freezes. Does anyone know of a solution? Thanks, Steve -- Steven J.

Did you install R via local compilation or via RPMS from the EPEL? I have not looked to see if RPMS are available for the patched version. Presuming local compilation, I would check your configure and build logs for warnings/errors. It is possible that you are missing an X11 header or lib someplace. Regards, Marc Schwartz
