Upgrading R to Version 2.11.0 2010-04-22

August 11:

We just upgraded the R statistical software to the latest stable version 2.11.0. Expect some solvers involving statistics to not be working.

We also relive the X11 problem. R expects to be able to use an X11 screen even in a server environment! We will dig up our old manuals to fix this and finally publish our results.

August 8: The graphics now work. I don't know what fixed it in the rush to update the OS from hardy to Lucid Lynx. Our Rweb application (courtesy of Jeff Banfield and the R organization) for example works out correctly without much manual configuration on our part! Before we thought we will spend endless nights on fixing Xvfb the X virtual frame buffer.
