X11 problem
In order to build R-2.13.1 from source with X11, I guess you need to install X11 develop library. Please try this: sudo apt-get install libx11-dev

Hello, TO update R under Ubuntu on my macchine, I downloaded R-2.13.1. When running ./configure, I got the following error message: checking for X... no configure: error: --with-x=yes (default) and X11 headers/libs are not available But I could use X11() function in R-2-10. So where does the problem come from? Cheers, Carol
It looks like you're compiling from source and your system does not have the header files required installed. Did you compile your previous version or use a pre-built (binary) package? A binary package would not require the headers. I don't use Ubuntu, so I don't know what the name of packages you need for the headers. Typically the packages have the devel versions separate, you you need those.
