Certainly if you want to run R under X windows you will need to run an X server 
on Windows, typically on top of PuTTY

But once you have X running and connected in Windows, just start R from the 
command line. That's how it usually runs on linux.

Another route is to run VNC, which seems pretty portable and preferred by at 
least one of my colleagues.  The main difference is that VNC is sending a 
picture of the linux desktop, rendered by whatever desktop manager is being run 
at the linux end, whereas under X the desktop rendering is supposed to happen 
at the X server (Windows) end. That changes what you can do with, for example, 
saved graphics files. But if you're under linux, you probably want to do that 
by opening a different device (eg png or ps) and plotting to file. Some VNC 
clients make it possible to transfer files, which can help if you want to save 
files at the linux end Nd then transfer to windows.

What do you mean by 'GUI'?   R does not have a GUI except on Windows 
(and as an add-on project, R.app, on OS X).


And what do you mean by 'does not work'?
