Hello:
I'm running R 2.7.1 in Antix (Mepis kernel but heavily debian based).  I have 
installed libcairo2 (1.6.4-6.1). I tried installing the Cairo package since I'm 
interested in generating some SVG graphs, and I got the following message:

Only partial output (lines with no):

....

or directory

I hope I provided enough of the output (and enough system information).  I don't know 
what the "Rconn patch" is and perhaps that is the problem?

Not at all. In fact when I read the error messages, it says that it cannot find X11/Intrinsic.h, so that's a problem with Xlib which means you'll need to install the appropriate "-dev" debian package. For instance on Ubuntu hardy, I would shoot for installing xserver-xorg-dev.

But before you do anything else, I would recommend updating to R 2.8.0 as 2.7.1 is so yesterday.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
