R help - Apr 2000 - novice question

Hello,

I've just compile R under solaris 7, everything went right, unfortunatly
when I run R as a normal user it returns saying:

$./R
GUI `X11' is not supported

However as root it works fine in text mode, that's what I want

$./R

.../bin/R.X11  needs to have r-x permission for ordinary users.
That message means that it is not found.  Another possibility is that you
have R_HOME set to an incorrect value when running as you: the R script
says:

# R_HOME may have moved, so check (or you get "GUI X11 is not
supported")
if [ ! -x ${R_HOME} ]; then
  echo "R_HOME = \`${R_HOME}' not found"
  exit 1
fi

but it may of course exist but not contain bin/R.X11 (and old versions of
R used R.bin, I think).
