Dear R-help,
We are using the Platform AMD 64 Bit Opteron.
Our operating system is SUSE LINUX ENTERPRISESERVER SLES9.0
We are using R version 2.2.0 .
This is our problem:
None of the device drivers postscript() or pdf() is opening, e.g.
the following message is coming:
postscript("splines-Ex.ps")
Fehler in postscript("splines-Ex.ps") : unable to start device
PostScript
Zus????tzlich: Warning message:
cannot open 'postscript' file argument 'splines-Ex.ps'
As far as I can see, you are trying to write 'splines-Ex.ps' in a
directory where you do not have write access. Check getwd(), and move with
setwd() to a directory you can write to, or give a full path to such a
directory.
Look at:
getwd()
system("ls -l ..")
to see the permissions of your working directory.
with regards
Sibylle Matthes
