R 1.3.0 on solaris 7

Sat, Jun 23, 2001 3:28 AM #

i installed R on solaris 7.
it works when i am root
as "normal" user
i get

[sunsite at neuwirth:/usr] R
Fatal error: Probably no X11 support: the shared library was not found

does somebody see immediately which library cannot be accessed?
perhaps the error message could also give the name of the library
searched for int the future?

It's obvious ... it's the X11 support library, R_X11.so on Solaris, in the
modules directory.  I don't see that it is worth giving more details, as it
indicates that the installation is faulty and probably needs to be re-done
completely.

Did you check the R Installation and Adminstration manual, and the comments
about setting umask correctly, BTW?
