Something similar happens with png(), I think, if one doesn't compile against certain X headers (for instance on Mac). Is there any resource which describes exactly which graphics devices would work without *any* special options on any OS? I've only been able to find pdf() so far (the second poster said that bitmap() should work with ghostscript, but let's say one doesn't have that or permission to install it), but then again I also have a very poor understanding of how the whole graphics device thing works.
I have to say it seems odd to me that one would need X or Quartz to create graphics, though I accept that it is; it would be really helpful to know why this is, though.
