It does seem like x11 support is the key to getting the PNG capability. I was working on it a bit yesterday and hope to figure it out today. We need it for plot generation. On Thu, Jul 23, 2015, 6:46 AM Pieter Neerincx wrote: > Hi Stefano, > > On Jul 23, 2015, at 11:58 AM, "Berri, Stefano" > w

Hi Robert, AFAIK you don't need X11 for PNG support, but I can imagine enabling X11 also enables some dependencies some of which may also be required for PNG support Cheers, Pi On Jul 23, 2015, at 12:54 PM, Robert Schmidt wrote: > It does seem like x11 support is the key to getting the P

Interesting Jack, thanks. Maybe you should put yours in easybuild.experimental? It seems like the underlying problem is that zlib is not included as a dependency of R (but is a dependency of libpng), thus the png tests fail due to missing symbols. Not sure if this is a EB bug or a package bug. I
