I was not sure whether the list of items included: "Intel Macs, Tcl/Tk 8.6.6 X11 libraries and Texinfo 5.2" was missing a comma between 8.6.6 and X11 libraries or conversely that TCL/Tk 8.6.6 was supposed to indicate a particular version of Quartz. Looking at the various webpages for those two packages, I don't see any change in XQuartz' version numbers whereas there has been quite a bit of updating of TCL/Tk. -- David. _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Mac mailing list R-SIG-Mac@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
