I am having weird problems where more recent installs of R cannot find
the Font path. I don't have sudo access, so install R in my personal
directory on an Ubuntu box, from source.
$ ls -lah R-3.0.1/bin/ | grep -w R
-rwxr-xr-x 1 jmacdon staff 8.5K Aug 30 14:04 R
$ ls -lah R-3.0.2/bin/ | grep -w R
-rwxr-xr-x 1 jmacdon staff 8.5K Sep 26 09:24 R
$ ls -lah R-2.15.1/bin/ | grep -w R
-rwxr-xr-x 1 jmacdon staff 8.5K Dec 19 12:58 R
$ ls -lah R-devel/bin/ | grep -w R
-rwxr-xr-x 1 jmacdon staff 8.5K Feb 11 09:47 R
Neither R-2.15.1 nor R-devel can find the Font Path, but R-3.0.1 and
R-3.0.2 can:

Any suggestions as to how I might track this down?
