I have a small handheld pc having ARM process as a CPU. I installed debian and installed R using apt-get command. Everything worked great except for drawing even simple graphs
 
x <- 1:10
plot(x)
 
I got error messages
 
        1: Nonfinite axis limits [GScale(nan,nan,1, .); log=0] 
        2: relative range of values = 9.0072e+15 * EPS, is small (axis 1). 
        3: Nonfinite axis limits [GScale(-inf,inf,2, .); log=0] 
        4: relative range of values = 9.0072e+15 * EPS, is small (axis 2). 
   
I searched R-help Archives hoping answers to this problem and ran into this message
 
*****************

Debian tries to build its packages on a variety of platforms. The arm 
platform compiled 0.90.1 (the last Debian release before the Debian package 
required an Atlas library, something we no longer require) failed in 'make 
check'. The log snippet follows; I traced this to the example(Bessel) code. 
  
> matplot(nu, t(outer(xx,nu, besselI)), type = 'l', ylim = c(-50,200), 
+ main = expression(paste("Bessel ",I[nu](x)," for fixed ", x, 
+ ", as ",f(nu))), 
+ xlab = expression(nu)) 
Error in title(main = main, sub = sub, xlab = xlab, ylab = ylab, ...) : 
        Metric information not yet available for this device 
        In addition: Warning messages: 
        1: Nonfinite axis limits [GScale(nan,nan,1, .); log=0] 
        2: relative range of values = 9.0072e+15 * EPS, is small (axis 1). 
        3: Nonfinite axis limits [GScale(-inf,inf,2, .); log=0] 
        4: relative range of values = 9.0072e+15 * EPS, is small (axis 2). 
        Execution halted 

Casual inspection suggests that GScale(nan,nan,1, .) is probably 
incorrect. Now, src/nmath/bessel* provide the Bessel functions but does this 
reflect a potential libc bug in IEEE handling? 

I have also asked on the debian-arm mailing list, but no result so far. I 
have some access to an arm box and could compile small test cases if that 
helped.

Is there any way I can fix this problem ? I checked Debain FTP sites to find Atlas but there is no Atlas lib for arm. 

I will really appreciate any help to fix this problem.

Thanks

Rex
