Have you compiled R yourself?
If so, you probably have the header files for png and friends support not installed. If you have a binary install, the one who compiled R for you have not had it.

Hello,
I 've just re-installed R 2.9.0 on ubuntu 9.04.

I do not understand why I am unable to use simple device function such as 
jpeg(), png()...

png()
Error in X11(paste("png::", filename, sep = ""), width, height, pointsize, : unable to start device PNG
In addition: Warning message:
In png() : no png support in this version of R


capabilities()
jpeg png tiff tcltk X11 aqua http/ftp sockets FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE FALSE TRUE TRUE libxml fifo cledit iconv NLS profmem cairo TRUE TRUE FALSE TRUE TRUE FALSE FALSE
It's not really a problem because i use cairo but i would like to know the 
source of this error.

I checked the library as proposed in previous post :
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2005-December/085177.html

but all of them (libpng, libjpeg...) are already installed.

Did someone ever find the source of this R Error ?

Thanks !
