Hi, I'm trying to run a R-script which calls arrayQualityMetrics as a batch-job on a remote machine. But I get the error message: Error in X11(paste("png::", filename, sep = ""), g$width, g$height, pointsize, : unable to start device PNG The script runs fine if I run it interactively from the command line. A bit of googleing tells me that this may have to do with the R png device which needs the X11 device. Does anybody have any hints on how I can solve this? Knut Hansen

Hi Knut if James' pointers do not help, can you please send an example script that reproduces the error and the output of sessionInfo. This type of matter is very system- and version-dependent.

I found that if I include the line: options(bitmapType="cairo") in my R-script everything works fine!
