Description Ranjan Maitra 2013-01-25 21:27:29 UTC
Description of problem:

Graphics on R do not get displayed for F18 on x86_64 architectures, tried two machines, and no inbuilt configuration files (with clean install).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

R-core.x86_64     2.15.2-3.fc18


How reproducible:

Everytime.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type R at prompt.

$ R


wait for R prompt to show up.

2. type

> pairs(iris)


Actual results:

x11 window opens but nothing gets plotted on the screen.

Expected results:

x11 window opens and the desired plot gets displayed on screen.


Additional info:

This continues to work on my other machine (an old i386, so the issue appears to be localized with x86_64 machines -- a Thinkpad T61 and a Dell Latitude E5400.

Happy to provide additional information: this is a huge blocker for me.
