R help - Feb 2007 - Ubuntu Linux and X11

Hello,

i have a problem with creating histograms and plots under ubuntu linux.
After creating a vector "test" i want to make a histogram, but the
following
error appears:
> hist (test)
Error in X11() : could not find any X11 fonts
Check that the Font Path is correct.


Does anybody know this problem and a solution for this?

Thanks in advance,
Thomas

Hm, you didn't by chance built this yourself and thereby ignored the
BIG FAT warnings about x11 headers not being found ?   

Take a shortcut, install the (backported) Ubuntu packages from any
of the CRAN mirrors and then sit back and enjoy a nice hist() chart?
