Re: [R] No graphics capability on fresh install of R2.11.0 on FreeBSD 8.0
Thanks Rainer,
I actually solved this by just adding a few fonts - from the x11-fonts ports.
I'm not sure about choosing the best ones, but this seems to have fixed the
"Cairo" device, although my capabilities has not changed at all.
We thought we could avoid the need to install X11 at all, but maybe this is not
so for normal use.
cheers

For me it looks like your X11 installation is not complete. You wrote
about a server installation with remote access. Please take care to get
installed all relevant ports. Easiest way is to install /usr/ports/x11/xorg.
and after installing Cairo
install.packages('Cairo',,'http://www.rforge.net/')
trying URL 'http://www.rforge.net/src/contrib/Cairo_1.4-6.tar.gz'
I get :
library(Cairo)
Cairo(file='thisfile.png', type='png', height=480, width=640)

All graphical capabilities are disabled. See my comment above.
