Problems with X11 - device

I started the graphics device with X11(). When I tried to plot a tree object
with
It gives me the error message:

Error in plot.window(xlim, ylim, log, asp, ...) : invalid xlim

I was looking in the manual under "plot", "plot.window", etc. but I didn't
really get the resolution of my problem.....
What's the problem?
 
I'm runnig R on a SuSE 6.0 System.

When I ran the same thing under the R for Windows, it plotted just fine... Is
thre a special problem with the X11 device?

Another thing: the html-help doesn't work (on my Linux again): when I run
help.start(), it starts netscape, but it doesn't find the file "index.html".
The start page with the links to "Search, packages, functions" etc. doesn't
exist in ~/.R/doc.. and also in /usr/local/lib/R... there is no "index.html"

Ahem. Version numbers are important!

If it's R 0.90.0 the fonts are a bit large... does it help if you start
the plotwindow with an explicit x11(pointsize=10)?

No, this doesn't help. R. Version is:

R : Copyright 1999, The R Development Core Team
Version 0.65.1 Release (October 07, 1999)

I still didn' get any answer to  this request, maybe it got lost...
It is a serious problem. Could it be a problem of my older release? Should I
update to R.0.90 ? I wanted not to have to compile it my self and there are
no binaries for SuSE 6.0  for this version.

One problem is that I don't think you provided simple instructions for
reproducing the problem. E.g. I don't normally use tree() for
anything, and I wouldn't have the time to learn now. If I could run a
couple of commands and see where the problem is, I might be able to
debug it at least some of the way, but otherwise no.

I have seen this before but it has always been some silly aspect of the
data I was trying to plot.  Is there any data at all (NAs).  For example:
Produces a simple plot as expected but making all x's NA:
Error in plot.window(xlim, ylim, log, asp, ...) : invalid xlim

gives the error message you get.  Is it possible that the Linux and
Windows version set-ups are leading to different vectors for tree to
handle?

I am still using 0.63.3 under RH5.2 which is rock stable so I don't want
to upgrade 'cos there aren't any rpms for later R's under RH5.2!  Very
lazy really!
