2010-12-23 15:27:50 +0200 answered a question Compiling R with PNG support

I had a very similar looking problem on Ubuntu 10.04.1 server but it turned out to be the following:

I was running my Sage notebook server through ssh session in a console. This way X11 are not accessible to R and R reports no png/jpg/X11 support with capabilities().

I tried to run Sage through virtual framebuffer (xvfb-run), but it didn't work either (edit: now it works, with sage 4.6.2, go on and try it). The solution i've found was to run Sage under X11 through VNC.
