It is clear that life is determined to frustrate me.  I had a look at CRAN
just now and could find no sign of a package called "CarbonEL".  The list
jumps from "car" to "cat" --- no "Carbon" of any flavour.  What gives?

Also I tried setting the DISPLAY (probably incorrectly, since I don't
understand what's going on).  I used

    > Sys.setenv(DISPLAY="0.0.0.0:0 R")
    > X11()

And got the error message

    Error in X11() : X11 module cannot be loaded


                    cheers,

                        Rolf
