Dear all, can you reproduce (on testing or unstable, especially) this 2 line error which inhibits interactive graphics (to me, tested on 2 debian testing boxes).
l@m740n:~$ R --vanilla > example(hist) hist> op <- par(mfrow = c(2, 2)) Error in (function (display = "", width, height, pointsize, gamma, bg, : il modulo X11 non può essere caricato Inoltre: Warning message: In (function (display = "", width, height, pointsize, gamma, bg, : unable to load shared object '/usr/lib/R/modules//R_X11.so': /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng12.so.0: version `PNG12_0' not found (required by /usr/lib/R/modules//R_X11.so) which, freely translated from italian, is "module X11 can't be loaded". Some further details/checks follow (at least for the libpng part): l@m740n:~$ cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ l@m740n:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu$ file libpng*so* | a bit of manual editing libpng12.so.0: symbolic link to libpng.so libpng.so: symbolic link to libpng16.so libpng16.so: symbolic link to libpng16.so.16.21.0 libpng16.so.16.21.0: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=ef07f9566623c84b92b85a37d173c1b02dfed727, stripped so it seems libpng16.so.16.21.0 is used (vrs 16, which "does not have" `PNG12_0').
