Thought of giving R programing a shot to create graph, so I downloaded the source code and compiled it on my Red Hat Linux server.
So as user root I created a directory called r_prog. Under directory I created a directory called
source. I then cd'ed on to the source directory and downloaded the source code for R.
I next untared to .gz file
Next I cd onto the directory R-2.14.0 and ran "configure"
I then ran the "make" and "make check" command as shown below.
If you get a whole bunch of OK's then R is ready to go.
Now go into the bin directory and run R.
At this point I tried the example provided in for the following link:
http://www.harding.edu/fmccown/r/
This created a graph called Rplots.pdf under the current directory.
