building Sage. R graphics might always be optional on Linux. I really
hope I'm wrong!
I am sure you are, having seen some workarounds on the internet. But how
to deal with this is something we need an R build expert for, I think.
Thanks to Minh for dealing with this - I was not able to deal with any
Sage-devel related material this weekend.
> There are *many* platforms -- even the latest OS X -- where our copy of
R gets built without any graphics support (png or aqua or whatever).
You mean OS X 10.6? That's odd - that's where I did the main work for
testing the new R spkg which should compile with aqua support whenever the
system is 'Darwin'.
