I've just committed a new version of the quartz device to R-devel.
This seems to fix the problem with displaying math symbols in plots under Panther.
I gave it a shot on a Jag machine (darwin 6.8), here are my results.
I can't not more test R under Jaguar (at least not these days). In case you have the opportunity to do that, please send me a report if it brokes everything under Jaguar (or eventually say "it's ok")
Do we have the chicken-and-egg problem again? during the build, while building R_X11.so: ld: can't locate framework for: -framework R
I thought this was fixed a while ago: you can't use -framework R when building R modules, because R is not installed as a framework yet. I had proposed the fake framework for building or different flags for initial build and packages build, but I don't remember which solution was used in the end - and it seems like none is used in the current R-devel :P
The quick-and-dirty way to bypass the above is something like this: sudo bash # this will fail, but at least create the proper directories make install # we need to copy at least the library mkdir /Library/Frameworks/Versions/1.9.0/Resources/bin cp bin/libR.dylib /Library/Frameworks/Versions/1.9.0/Resources/bin cd /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions ln -s 1.9.0 Current cd .. ln -s Versions/Current/Resources/bin/libR.dylib R
now you should be able to re-run make
this is just a hack for those who get stuck and want to test the R-devel anyway. Fixes for this problem are those discussed before.
(I was away for a week so I didn't test R-devel in the meantime and I strongly suspect that this is not Jag-dependent)
A couple of test as example(plotmath) and demo(plotmath) should suffice to see if things go smoothly.
Well, define "smoothly" - on the Jag machine I tested the font face is constant and all math symbols and operators appear as boxes - i.e. the font is not changed, but no errors or crashes.
