I wish for help on the following issue with GNU R.
I have on my Ubuntu-Linux-10.04-LTS compiled R-2.13.0 from source, and then
installed under some local directory. After I launched the R interactive
console, the plot() etc. graphics functions showed only points but no axis, and
reported the following errors from console line:
-- could not find any X11 fonts
-- locale not supported by Xlib: some X ops will operate in C locale
X cannot set locale modifiers
I read more about R-admin.pdf but haven't made progress on the issue.
Therefore really appreciate it if any suggestions. Thanks a lot!

Hong,
Since you are using Ubuntu, my first suggestion would be to use the
binary packages available on CRAN
(http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/). That will likely solve
the problem.
You can also run "capabilities()" in R. My Ubuntu box returns the
following:
> capabilities()
jpeg png tiff tcltk X11 aqua http/ftp sockets
TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE FALSE TRUE TRUE
libxml fifo cledit iconv NLS profmem cairo
TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE
If any of the TRUE values are FALSE on your system, that would likely be
the cause of the error. For example, X11 might not be available to R,
and you would need to resolve that.
Hope this helps,
Michael
