Unable to install R on CentOS 64 bit machine
config.log will tell you what is missing. But most likely it is X11 headers/libraries in packages like libX11-devel and libXt-devel. (Note that the R-admin manual does tell you this.) Real names and proper signature blocks are preferred here.

Hi all, I am unable to install R on CentOS5 64 bit machine. When I do ./configure I get the message "checking for X... no configure: error: --with-x=yes (default) and X11 headers/libs are not available" from doing a websearch it seems I need to install x11-xorg. But I could not find it when I did a yum install. I did "yum list xorg-x11*" and following is what I get Could someone tell me which is the missing X11 package I need to install for CentOS5? Thanks a lot for any help.
