Dear R-help list users,
I have a question about saving a graph as .png file under Unix. The R
version is 1.2.2. The message I am getting is
Error in X11(paste("png::", filename, sep = ""), width,
height, pointsize,
: unable to start device PNG
No png support in this version of R
even though when I do help on png it shows that it should be working ok and
it should be supported.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Look at the configure logs to see why it was not configured in, if you compiled it yourself. -- Brian D.

Prof Ripley,
Sorry for not being clear !! What I meant is that when I type ?png under
UNIX it gives me the information about the png function so I thought that
it should be supported.
I will check what you suggested.
Thanks for your input.
