[R-sig-Debian] can't open Cairo device

[Tom Gottfried]

Thank you Dirk,

installing from source (`install.packages("cairoDevice")' as well as `R 
CMD INSTALL cairoDevice_2.14.tar.gz') solved the problem today. Though 
`install.packages("cairoDevice")' didn't help yesterday and everything I 
knowingly did in between was updating all other packages through 
`update.packages()'.

Anyhow, now it works!
Thanks,
Tom
