Michael, please read R for Mac OS X FAQ (even more so if you are using R-devel) - apparently you are using Leopard, so you have to fix X11 first - see also http://r.research.att.com/building.html (which is mentioned in the FAQ)
Cheers, Simon BTW: You said R crashed on you - can you, please, send us the crash report? I can only repeat that posting "R crashed" without any report is the most rude thing one can do - it is the same as saying "I know how I could help others but I refuse to tell anyone". So pretty please with a cherry on top ... report crashes! On Feb 12, 2008, at 6:37 AM, Michael Kubovy wrote: > Thanks.
