Sorry folks, it looks like I have misdiagnosed the issue. When I connect to
the server using an X client and start up the
newly built R instance, I see capabilities() shows X11 support as expected.
So this changes the character of my query
somewhat: As I was hoping to run R in non-interactive mode (hence not using
an X client in the
first instance), is there any way to run R in "headless" mode, so that
graphical output works, even in contexts
where DISPLAY may not be set? (eg Java has an equivalent headless
option that allows its graphical libraries to operate in such a situation,
so I guess it must be possible, in theory
at least).
I'm not an X11 user, but I believe the test systems do this using Xvfb,
the "virtual" X server.
