Everything is enabled, but still doesn't work. xeyes and xclock give errors (Error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0), R produces Rplots.ps I also have a windows box, and go to chena using PuTTY. I have cygwin with X server installed on it. If I enable X11 forwarding in PuTTY, start cygwin's X11 server on Windows and try to run xeyes or xclock, I see their windows on my local MS Windows desktop, R still produces Rplots.ps. Will try to catch sysadmins and fix the things with them (I don't have the root access to everything, unfortunately). ______________________________________________ [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 and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
