Dear R People: I'm working with R on the latest version of Ubuntu. However, I can't get graphics to appear, even with the simplest plot commands. Has anyone run into that, please? I'm using R-2.5.0 on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn. (Please don't puke. That's really the name) Thanks in advance, Sincerely, Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences University of Houston - Downtown mailto: hodgess at gator.uhd.edu

What does this show for you:

X11
TRUE

If you get 'FALSE', and by chance you built this yourself, then you
probably
omitted to install the X11 development packages, and overlooked the warning
that configure gave you.
You could consider installing the prebuilt Ubuntu binaries that are provided
via CRAN and its mirrors; see the R FAQ.

Well, i had this problem too, but with Edy edge 5.06. I fixed the problem after reading this. http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-248750.html http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-248750.html But I also updated to Feisty Fawn (5.10) and there the problem didn't occur. I'm not sure if the configuration file changed after the update (or if it was left untouched). I hope this information helps -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/graphics-on-Ubunut-tf3781004.html#a10732427 Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
