Hi all, My graduate student is logging onto my macpro and running R through ESS aquamacs (with Mx ssh and then Mx ess-remote). Everything is working fine until we get to graphing.
We are trying to give him the ability to look at graphics interactively. The ESS manual is not too helpful: "If you run X11 (See Section 13.3.2 [X11], page 68, X-windows) on both the local and remote machines then you should be able to display the graphs locally by setting the ‘DISPLAY’ environment variable appropriately." It's unclear what DISPLAY is appropriate. I have X11 forwarding set up on my machine (the remote machine). When we try to create a graphic in his ESS remote process, (e.g., hist(rnorm(50))), we get the following error: "Error in X11(... unable to start device X11cairo In addition: Warning message: In x11(): unable to open connection to X11 display" Does anyone out there use interactive graphics on their ESS remote sessions? If so, could you provide any help? We're really stuck and just need a step-by-step from anyone who knows. Thank you, Matt -- Matthew C Keller Asst.
