HI Paul, I had same problem on ubuntu 7.10. Followed advice here http://help.nceas.ucsb.edu/index.php...ng_R_on_Ubuntu <http://help.nceas.ucsb.edu/index.php/Installing_R_on_Ubuntu> and now it works fine. Something about missing headers for X. Alternatively something like the libx11-dev package does the trick but may give you a bit more than you need.
Hope this helps. Tim.
