Hi there, Does anybody have experience in running jpeg device using xvfb-run on linux? I've been having sporadic problem with: /usr/X11/bin/xvfb-run /usr/bin/R --no-save < Rinput.txt, with error saying: error in X11 connection. Especially when I run it from a perl script. Is there a better way of doing this? or how can I fix the problem. Thanks in advance! David [[alternative HTML

Hello, When launching R from a script, when queried it reports the following capabilities as false: jpeg, png, x11 and cledit. When R is run from a terminal session, all of these capabilities are reported true. R is running on FC4. As the purpose of this script is to output the png file to a browser, it is unable to complete because of this. Any ideas are appreciated. We have an identical

Hi I have seen a few posts to this list regarding problems accessing the x11() device over cgi - namely, when trying to create a graphic using the jpeg() function, everything is fine from the command line but it won't work over cgi, producing the error: "Unable to open connection to X11 display" Has anyone actually solved this particular problem satisfactorily? Please reply

HI! I am trying to configure the samba 2.2.7 binary from sunfreeware ( package for Solaris 7). Is there any way to override the default install location of /usr/local/samba for the lock files? I do not have access to /usr/local as it is NFS mounted and shared by all Solaris 7 boxes. I can pkgadd to a different root path, and I can -s the config file to the install location, but I cannot

Hello all: After I compile the R-1.7 with the follows in Linux7.3: configure --with-x --with-jpeglib --with-libpng --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib and make and make install. The R is able to generate PNG/JPEG files from the command line. However, when I put the same commands in a batch file and run: R --gui BATCH R.Batch.file It gave me a error in the

Hello, I am running some commands in batch on a server that I SSH into; some of the commands call jpeg(). If I continue to stay signed on (with my xwindows working on my machine) then the jpeg() command works (with a single caveat, below). If I leave it and sign off (with a nohup command in front of my BATCH) then jpeg gives me an error like this: Error in X11(paste("jpeg::",

If I change the background color of a plot, with par(bg="red") for example, I get a plot with a red background when I use the postscript or X11 devices. With the png or jpeg devices, the background is white. Is this the intended behavior, or a bug? Is there anyway to get a non-white background with the png device? I'm using R-1.1.0 on Linux.

Hey, i'm trying to set up an cgi web-application that produces maps and other graphics with R. for local testing i used my laptop which has an win xp OS. there everything works fine. now i try to move the whole system over on an unix machine, mainly because i want to establish a connection to a database. anyway, i'm using R 2.0.0 on an other computer in a local network. here comes my

Hi I have recently installed and implemented Xvfb (X virtual frame buffer) so that I can create jpegs using R over CGI (SUSE Linux 8.1 and Apache 1.3). I have noticed that in order to do this, a file (Rplots.ps) is created in my cgi-bin directory everytime a cgi script is run. This could cause problems though as I have a multi-user system where it is possible that two different users will run

I'm sure this question comes up waaaay to often in this list, and I apologize if I've missed the obvious answer. I did spend the last two hours looking for a solution and trying various things, but to no avail. I'm trying to run a command-line app (text-only). It's a cross-compiler tool for which we only have Windows binaries. The app works fine, but when I run it (i.e. to

Dear Mr. Andrew Tridgell, I am new to samba. I understood that it allows you to share the files from Microsoft windows env. and UNIX environment. I need to install the software on my UNIX machine. Do I need the license? I downloaded the following file. samba-latest.tar.gz I copied to UNIX env. and gunzip and tar to extract all the files. Is this correct step? I will appreciate, if

Hi a short question is there a way to generate jpeg's etc. in BATCH mode ? The following example does not work in BATCH: I have a file called Rgraph.in: *rsy at puffin*[15:11][~][57]> cat Rgraph.in jpeg("/tmp/my.jpg") hist(runif(10000)) dev.off() *rsy at puffin*[15:11][~][58]> *rsy at puffin*[15:09][~][55]> R BATCH Rgraph.in OUT 4.120u 0.160s 0:05.17 82.7% 0+0k

When I execute the following code, it works just like I want it to: three pages of nine (or fewer) plots. However, when I execute the code with the first and last lines uncommented, I get three pages (files), but the 2nd & 3rd pages have overlapping plots. It's like a new page wasn't created. I'm pretty sure I've either misplaced or left out a crucial call to some

Dear all, I am trying to upgrade R-1.6.2 to R-1.7.0 on an SGI running IRIX6.5. Everything compiles but I get an error in the testing phase: [snip] running regression tests make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/R-1.7.0/tests' running code in 'reg-tests-1.R' ...make[3]: *** [reg-tests-1.Rout] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/R-1.7.0/tests' make[2]: ***

I have two questions - 1. I am trying to create R png graphs via cron. I have this part working using Xvfb (X virtual frame buffer). One problem that I have, though, is that all the fonts on my graphs get messed up. Anybody have any nija R commands to make all fonts look great? Anybody have any idea how to fix this? So far, no luck on Solaris or Linux making the Xvfb fonts look good. I was

Dear All, Would anybody have any advice to give on that: The Facts: - I installed (compiled) R on SGI IRIX (6.5) - I am not root - I discovered the jpeg device I need now badly doesn't work (postscript is not so happy with 19 millions spots) - after investigation, it appeared the jpeglib.h was detected not recent enough at configure time - the jpeglib.h in /usr/include is version 6a - the

Dear all, I am trying to create a web interface using Perl-CGI to call R plots and to display them. The following codes works perfectly fine when I copy and paste into the console directly or if I save it into script.file and then R --no-save < script.file producing the graphs. jpeg("graph.jpeg", width=400, height=400) plot(rnorm(100)) dev.off() Now, I put the line system("R

To all the helpful people out there, We currently use samba on our Unix server and have win98 clients from a winNT network that we share files with. I have a user that will soon be working at home using a Unix (SGI Octane2) box and a Win98 PC. He wants to be able to share files between the machines. My question is will I need some kind of hub between the two for them to make Samba work or
