It''s obvious ... it''s the X11 support library, R_X11.so on
Solaris, in the
modules directory. I don''t see that it is worth giving more details,
as it
indicates that the installation is faulty and probably needs to be re-done
completely.
Did you check the R Installation and Adminstration manual, and the comments
about setting umask correctly, BTW?
