Hi

I'm trying to install R-2.15.2 in Unix environment  and when i run
./configure i'm getting the following error


configure: error: --with-x=yes (default) and X11 headers/libs are not
available. 

i just unzip .tar file and ran ./configure.  I'm not able to get x11()
anywhere.

Please help me

Thanks in Advance

Then you need to install the x11 headers for your Unix (linux?)
system. I can't tell you what or how without knowing more about your
particular setup.

By far the easiest thing to do if you're not familiar with compiling
your own software, headers and such, is to install the binary for your
linux distro from the usual repository. Assuming you're running linux:
just telling us "Unix" isn't actually all that informative.

But note that the manual does cover a lot of the possibilities.

 From the INSTALL file:

'The main source of information on installation is the `R Installation
and Administration Manual', an HTML copy of which is available as file
`doc/html/R-admin.html'.  Please read that before installing R.  But
if you are impatient, read on but please refer to the manual to
resolve any problems.'
