I have a small handheld pc having ARM process as a CPU (
http://www.the-gadgeteer.com/sharp-zaurus-c760-review.html). I installed
debian and installed R using apt-get command. Everything worked great
except for drawing even simple graphs
x <- 1:10
plot(x)
I got error messages
1: Nonfinite axis limits [GScale(nan,nan,1, .); log=0]
2: relative range of values = 9.0072e+15 * EPS, is small
(axis 1).
3: Nonfinite axis limits [GScale(-inf,inf,2, .); log=0]
4: relative range of values = 9.0072e+15 * EPS, is small
(axis 2).
I searched R-help Archives hoping answers to this problem and
ran
into this message
*****************
Debian tries to build its packages on a variety of platforms. The arm
platform compiled 0.90.1 (the last Debian release before the Debian
package
required an Atlas library, something we no longer require) failed in
'make
check'. The log snippet follows; I traced this to the example(Bessel)
code.
matplot(nu, t(outer(xx,nu, besselI)), type = 'l', ylim =
c(-50,200),
+ main = _expression_(paste("Bessel ",I[nu](x)," for fixed ", x,
+ ", as ",f(nu))),
+ xlab = _expression_(nu))
Error in title(main = main, sub = sub, xlab = xlab, ylab = ylab, ...)

Execution halted
Casual inspection suggests that GScale(nan,nan,1, .) is probably
incorrect. Now, src/nmath/bessel* provide the Bessel functions but
does this
reflect a potential libc bug in IEEE handling?
I have also asked on the debian-arm mailing list, but no result so
far. I
have some access to an arm box and could compile small test cases if
that
helped.

Is
there
any way I can fix this problem ? I checked Debain FTP sites
to find Atlas but there is no Atlas lib for arm.
I really appreciate any help.
