R help - Mar 2005 - R on red hat 2.1 problem while trying to generate image

Running R 1.9.1 under red hat 2.1 version

When I try to generate an image, we get an error as in the following

plot(rnorm(100))
Error in PS(file, old$paper, old$family, old$encoding, old$bg, old$fg,  : 
        unable to start device PostScript
In addition: Warning message: 
cannot open `postscript' file argument `Rplots.ps'

If anyone can throw some light or any pointers into why we are facing this
problem then it would be really helpful.

Thanks,
Sandeep.

Do you have write permission in the current working directory?
If not, use postscript() explicitly.
