Um... any reason why you don't simply disable aqua? That file is only compiled if you enable aqua - it has really nothing to do with grDevices ...

Also, you can specify a compiler for Objective-C separately and the manual advises you to do so (to specify Apple's clang).
Tried that, but I have to use an old version of clang that can't handle the code. But --with-aqua=no was the solution.

Is it possible to configure and build an R without any graphics support. I..e no grDevices or graphics packages?

I tried "--with-x=no --with-cairo=no --with-grDevices=no --with-graphics=no"

Inventing flags does not help you: use configure --help to see what is supported (as the manual says).

I have learnt that R manuals are frequently inaccurate or out of date. So from the ./configure script:

Optional Packages:
  --with-PACKAGE[=ARG]    use PACKAGE [ARG=yes]

which is why I tried --with-grDevices=no


Reading the manual is faster than posting (and posting Mac-specific Qs to R-sig-mac is more likely to get an informed response).

I don't need this kind of grief. I hereby sign off from posting to this list.
