Hi Johannes,

Thanks for responding. Turns out the problem was me. I have an

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=

in my .bashrc that I sometimes need that I neglected to comment back out.

Best,

Jim

Hi,

did you talk to your sysadmin about this? It is not possible to see what
happened as you do not provide a build log, but it seems some x fonts arent't
installed any more, or some xorg related headers (-dev packages) are not
present on the build machine.

Kind regards,

Johannes

Hi,

My primary work computer (on which I have no sudo privileges) is running
Debian jessie. For various reasons I need to compile R in my personal
directory rather than using the site-wide install.

On 2013-12-20 the sysadmin ran apt-get upgrade, and now any R that I

compile errors when I try to use X11 fonts:
  > plot(1:10)

Error in axis(side = side, at = at, labels = labels, ...) :
    could not find any X11 fonts
Check that the Font Path is correct.

Anything compiled prior to the update is fine (e.g., I have two R-3.0.2
versions, one from before the upgrade and one I compiled yesterday. One
can find X11 fonts, and the other cannot, so it isn't a locale problem).

Has anybody seen this? Any suggestions?

Best,

Jim
