[R-sig-Geo] spplot graphics problem

[Dylan Beaudette]

Hi Tom,

I have encountered this in the past when compiling without X11
support, thinking that I wouldn't need it on a headless server. Turns
out you need X11 (or at least Cairo) for a working graphics device for
PNG and JPG formats. Any chance that you can post your configure
arguments or build information?
