Hello all:
After I compile the R-1.7 with the follows in
Linux7.3:
configure --with-x --with-jpeglib --with-libpng
--x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include
--x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib
and make and make install. The R is able to generate
PNG/JPEG files from the command line. However, when I
put the same commands in a batch file and run:
R --gui BATCH R.Batch.file
It gave me a error in the R.Batch.file.Rout:
Error in png("myplot.png") : R_X11 module cannot be
loaded
In addition: Warning message:
X11 module is not available under this GUI
Execution halted
Would you please guide me through to fix the problem?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Problems for runing R in BATCH to generate PNG/JPEG files

1) Read ?BATCH, carefully. Note that R --gui BATCH isn't valid syntax. 2) Read ?png, carefully. 3) So you need to not use BATCH *and* provide an X server: I use Xvfb on Linux (but on Solaris the console is available to batch processes).

That's not a Linux version number! RedHat 7.3, perhaps?

The help pages *are* very helpful once you read them.
