I don't know much about SuSE but you probably don't have the X11 development libraries installed. You need those when compiling R from source. I'm not sure why the CRAN binary didn't work though....

Hi

I have problem running R (tried 1.8.0 and 1.7.1) under a fresh installed SuSE 9.0 using default settings: I'm not able to send plots to the monitor. Only postscript graphs are produced in external files. When assigning options(device='X11') and then plotting I get the message "Error in X11() : X11 is not available".

Since this occured using the r-cran binary I tried to compile from source. However, the problem was not resolved. I do not have the competence for interpreting the output from the configure and make commands. Running the ./configure (also tried ./configure --with-x) I read the following line:

checking for X... no

and at the bottom:

R is now configured for i686-pc-linux-gnu

  Source directory:          .
  Installation directory:    /usr/local

  C compiler:                gcc -D__NO_MATH_INLINES -mieee-fp -g -O2
  C++ compiler:              g++ -mieee-fp -g -O2
  Fortran compiler:          g77 -mieee-fp -g -O2

  Interfaces supported:
  External libraries:        readline
  Additional capabilities:   PNG, JPEG, bzip2, PCRE
  Options enabled:           R profiling

Recommended packages: yes

Thankful for any help on this matter.
