One X11 build is available as 3rd party download from http://xquartz.macosforge.org but it is no longer Apple's X11 as included in previous OS X versions. The current R GUI release only supports Apple's X11 (i.e., the autostart etc.; you can still use X11 R packages with any X11 implementation). _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Mac mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
