Try to install xming in your windows box http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/. Make sure to run xming before plotting. Saeed On Mon, Feb 22, 2010 at 12:46 PM, xin wei <xinwei at stat.psu.edu> wrote:
hi, Guys: thank you so much for all the suggestion. Now I seem to be able to set up x11 forwarding in PUTTY. however, I still could not get plot and I get the following error msg: Error in function (display = "", width, height, pointsize, gamma, bg, : X11 I/O error while opening X11 connection to 'localhost:20.0' Is this error msg indication of lack of appropriate plotting package on the server or the server is not properly set up for X11 forwarding? thanks
The main point here is that none of this is to do with R. It is all about setting up the ssh connection properly. You are at a university and there should be a linux guru or at least someone else in the department who can assist. Someone set up the linux machine where R is running, they will know this stuff.
