R hangs when plot() is used

Dear R users

I have compiled R from source in local user account (at non default
location). R seems to be working fine but issuing plot() command opens a
window (supposedly graph, but nothing is visible) and then R terminal also
freezes. Any suggestions?
Following is the session info output.

sessionInfo()

R version 3.2.3 (2015-12-10)
Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit)
Running under: CentOS release 6.7 (Final)

locale:
 [1] LC_CTYPE=en_US       LC_NUMERIC=C         LC_TIME=en_US
 [4] LC_COLLATE=en_US     LC_MONETARY=en_US    LC_MESSAGES=en_US
 [7] LC_PAPER=en_US       LC_NAME=C            LC_ADDRESS=C
[10] LC_TELEPHONE=C       LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US LC_IDENTIFICATION=C

attached base packages:
[1] stats     graphics  grDevices utils     datasets  methods   base


Thank you

Best

We found an older version of x11 and this worked for us:

yum downgrade xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.15.0-36.el6.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.15.0-26.el6_6.x86_64.rpm

After some prompting from Peter, I have ported the patch over to the R
release branch so the fix will be in R 3.2.4, due for release on 10
March, and in R 3.3.0 a little over a month later. You can then upgrade
again.
