G'day all,
I am working on a new FreeBSD 8.0 Server (remotely located), and have installed
(now several times) R 2.11.0 but I cannot get any graphic outputs (everything
else seems to be happening fine...)
During install I have noticed and checked that png, jpeg, cairo etc libraries
are available - here is the build output :
R is now configured for amd64-portbld-freebsd8.0
Source directory: .
Installation directory: /usr/local
C compiler: gcc44 -std=gnu99 -O2 -pipe

C++ compiler: g++44 -O2 -pipe -Wl,-rpath=/usr/local/lib/gcc44

Additional capabilities: PNG, JPEG, TIFF, NLS, cairo

R version 2.11.0 (2010-04-22)
amd64-portbld-freebsd8.0
locale:
[1] C
attached base packages:
[1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base
other attached packages:
[1] Cairo_1.4-6
yet when I start it up, I get this :
> library(graphics)
> png('this.file.png')
Error in X11(paste("png::", filename, sep = ""), width, height, pointsize, :
unable to start device PNG
In addition: Warning message:
In png("this.file.png") : unable to open connection to X11 display ''
and after installing Cairo
> install.packages('Cairo',,'http://www.rforge.net/')
trying URL 'http://www.rforge.net/src/contrib/Cairo_1.4-6.tar.gz'
I get :
> library(Cairo)
> Cairo(file='thisfile.png', type='png', height=480, width=640)
Error in Cairo(file = "thisfile.png", type = "png", height = 480, width = 640)
:
No font found in Rcairo_set_font
Thus stumped, I checked :
> capabilities()
jpeg png tiff tcltk X11 aqua http/ftp sockets
FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE FALSE FALSE TRUE TRUE
libxml fifo cledit iconv NLS profmem cairo
TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE FALSE FALSE
If this is not the appropriate place for this to be sorted, I am happy to try
elsewhere.
cheers
Ben
