Dear All, Hello I'm a newbie to the list. I recently installed R on a Redhat 9.0 system, when I come to plot anything it does not bring up a graphics window but rather stores it in a file "Rplots.ps". I tried x11() but that doesn't bring up a window either. I would greatly appreciate any advice. Simon Woodhead

You need to install the XFree86-devel package and recompile, or else use the ready made RPM packages on CRAN: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/redhat/9/i386/ Martyn
