People are downgrading to the Tiger version of X11 in droves. The XDarwin developer (Ben Byer) has posted an unofficial upgrade to Xquartz for Leopard. There will probably be more at the same address. As for R, I can compile R- devel just fine with both gcc-4.2.1 and icc. Both from Terminal.app and from R.app I can start X11() -- although my default device is quartz() in both. You need to patch LDFLAGS for OpenGL and tcltk (and Rcmdr and so on) becomes a WMD. LDFLAGS needs to contain
"-Wl,-dylib_file,/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/ A/Libraries/libGL.dylib:/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/ Versions/A/Libraries/libGL.dylib" and the updated Xquartz is at > git revision history: > http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/xserver.git;a=log;h=xorg-server-1.2-apple > source tarball: xorg-server-1.2a2.tar.bz2 > Xquartz binary: Xquartz-1.2a2.bz2 > > You can install the binary with something like: > $ cd /tmp > $ curl -LO > http://people.freedesktop.org/~bbyer/x11app/xorg-server-1.2a2/Xquartz-1.2.0a2.bz2 > $ bunzip2 Xquartz-1.2a2.bz2 > $ sudo mv /usr/X11/bin/Xquartz /usr/X11/bin/Xquartz.old > $ sudo cp Xquartz-1.2a2 /usr/X11/bin/Xquartz In general, clearly Apple does not devote many resources to non-Apple technologies such as X11 and Java -- which makes sense. Even though their valuation is now higher than IBM and Intel, and twice that of Dell, they are still a relatively small company with only 20,000 employees, instead of 200,000, and they invest almost all their software energies in Cocoa, the essential OS X and Darwin components, and iLife/ iWork. === Jan de Leeuw; Distinguished Professor and Chair, UCLA Department of Statistics; Director: UCLA Center for Environmental Statistics (CES); Editor: Journal of Multivariate Analysis, Journal of Statistical Software; US mail: 8125 Math Sciences Bldg, Box 951554, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1554 phone (310)-825-9550; fax (310)-206-5658; email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] .mac: jdeleeuw +++ skype: j_deleeuw +++ homepage: http://www.cuddyvalley.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No matter where you go, there you are. --- Buckaroo Banzai http://gifi.stat.ucla.edu/sounds/nomatter.au ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]] _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Mac mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
