The file INSTALL says
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. (If you obtained R using Subversion, the manual
is at doc/manual/R-admin.texi.)
I suspect this was an installation problem, in which case it is covered in
that manual. Configure reports on the capabilities it found, e.g.
Interfaces supported: X11, tcltk
External libraries: readline
Additional capabilities: PNG, JPEG, iconv, MBCS, NLS
Options enabled: shared BLAS, R profiling, Java
and you have not told us what your build reported.
An alternative is covered by ?capabilities
X11: (Unix) Are the 'X11' graphics device and the X11-based data
editor available? This loads the X11 module if not already
loaded, and checks that the default display can be contacted
unless a 'X11' device has already been used.
which if false will imply that jpeg and png are not available (but tcltk
could be).
You need to demonstrate that this really is a bug in R and not a
mis-report using scarce resources (R-core time). (The R build not
magically finding missing components of your OS is not a bug.)
