Error in svg() : cairo-based devices are not supported on this build

Hello,

Sorry if it is not the right place..

I installed R-2.13.0 on a x86_64 linux server.
All went fine, but the svg()  function yells:
svg()
Error in svg() : cairo-based devices are not supported on this build

I have the Cairo, cairoDevice, RSvgDevice packages installed, and running.

Those are irrelevant for svg() which is provided by built-in cairo support in R, not the packages, so you want to check capabilities():
capabilities("cairo")
cairo 
 TRUE 

But if you have working Cairo package can simply use CairoSVG() instead of svg().

Cheers,
Simon
Cairo.capabilities()
 png  jpeg  tiff   pdf   svg    ps   x11   win
TRUE  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE FALSE

I tried to google around unsuccessfully. The only thing I noticed in
config.log is:
r_cv_has_pangocairo=no
r_cv_cairo_works=yes
r_cv_has_cairo=yes
#define HAVE_WORKING_CAIRO 1
#define HAVE_CAIRO_PDF 1
#define HAVE_CAIRO_PS 1
#define HAVE_CAIRO_SVG 1

So what can be wrong ??

Thank you

Karl
