I'm using Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop 10.2 (SP2) on an HP 2133 (x86)

downloaded R-base from the openSuse 10.2 repository and was (finally)
able to install it (after installing blas and gcc-fortran). I can start
an R session and do computations. When I try to do any graphics using
x11, I get the message:
unable to load shared library '/usr/lib/R/modules//R_X11.so':
/usr/lib/R/modules//R_X11.so: undefined symbol:
cairo_image_surface_get_data
Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?
Yes, your binary version of R is incompatible with the version of cairo
you have installed (if you have one). Really the RPM should have checked
that, so please report to the maintainer.
Short-term fix: set X11.options(type="Xlib") in the session or in
.Rprofile via
setHook(packageEvent("grDevices", "onLoad"),
function(...) grDevices::X11.options(type="Xlib") )
Longer-term fix: install or update cairo >= 1.2 (and preferably 1.4).
