Hi,
maybe this happens because you don't have xpdf installed. You can
install it with
$ sudo apt-get install xpdf
or, use evince (which is the default pdf viewer in Ubuntu). To do this,
change this option in your R session:
> options(pdfviewer = "/usr/bin/evince")
and try again. You may also want to put this line in your .Rprofile file
if you want to keep evince the default for all R sessions from now own.
[]s,
