I then went back and tried again on a 3rd machine running FreeBSD 5.4 with Xorg (because I'm running X on the 6.0 box and thought maybe the problem is a missing library or some other component), and it produced the same error as the first 5.4 box. -DW ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
