[R] Unable to run dev.new

[Stephen Liu]

Hi folks,


Debian 504 64 bit.

Have spent more than 2 hours on dev.new and can't make it to work.

> dev.new(height = 6, width = 12)
Error in dev.new(height = 6, width = 12) : 
  unused argument(s) (height = 6, width = 12)

r-base-core has been installed.  The command should be correct.  I have run it 
before.

Finally I started another VM, Ubuntu 10.04, also 64 bit, and then R.  The 
command abovementioned works without problem starting the plot window.

It looks quite funny to me.  Any help?
