hi members,

At the moment i try to create a web-based GUI for R. I am at the 
beginning of this project but i have already now a strange problem.

I would like to create an image which should also be saved. i realize 
this with following code line in my PHP file:

$output= intval(shell_exec("R --no-save --slave < test.R 
1>../tmp/R.output 2>../tmp/R.log"));

The code in the R script (test.R) is:

jpeg(filename = "plot.jpeg", width = 1024, height = 768, units = "px", 
pointsize = 12, quality = 75, bg = "white")
split.screen(c(2,1));
screen(1,new=TRUE)
plot(s);
screen(2,new=TRUE)
plot(y);
dev.off()

The error message which I get is this one:

Error in jpeg(filename = "plot.jpeg", width = 1024, height = 768, units 
= "px",  :    X11 module cannot be loaded In addition: Warning message: 
In jpeg(filename = "plot.jpeg", width = 1024, height = 768, units = 
"px",  :   unable to load shared library 
'/home/combiuser/emeyer/R/R-2.7.0/modules//R_X11.so':   
/usr/lib/libcairo.so.2: undefined symbol: FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden 
Execution halted

And the strange thing is when i type in the shell just "R --no-save 
--slave < test.R 1>../tmp/R.output 2>../tmp/R.log" the image is created 
and all works fine!!!! It has to be a problem for the X11 module when i 
start R via Apache/PHP. But why and what could I do to solve this problem???

Any suggestions would be really helpful.

Best regards from Germany
Paul
