[R-sig-Fedora] [R] Failure to load X11 module in Fedora 13.

[Carlo Tambuatco]

I've googled around the archives for R-help and R-sig Fedora and found
that a lot of people have had the same errors I've gotten when
starting up the X11() module:

Error in X11() : X11 module cannot be loaded
In addition: Warning message:
In X11() : unable to load shared library '/usr/lib/R/modules//R_X11.so':
  /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined symbol: FT_Select_Size

But I have come across zero answers to this fundamental problem. (At
least none that make sense to a newbie user like me.)

This is after a fresh install of R on Fedora 13 via Yum.

I checked and /usr/lib/R/modules/R_X11.so indeed exists. But R somehow
doesn't care and fails to load it.

So, what did anyone do to resolve this issue?

Here's my sessionInfo():
