Hi everyone again, sessionInfo() gives the following output:
====================== R version 2.6.2 (2008-02-08) i386-apple-darwin8.10.1 locale: C/UTF-8/C/C/C/C attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] rcompgen_0.1-17 ====================== I have upgraded to the latest X11 from http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/xquartz and I have also tried the tip about how to fix X11 at http://r.research.att.com/building.html . However, none of these actions fixes the problem. I have also tried to reinstall R (though I didn't have any hopes that it would fix the problem - but to be on the safe side...). When I migrated to Leopard I made a disc image of my old system, put it on an external hard drive, installed Leopard on my computer, then used the migration assistant to install my old user account again from the external hard drive. So, as Kasper Hansen suggests, it is quite likely that the problem is related to some old config file lurking around somewhere. Problem is that I have no idea where or what it could be (as I said before, I have disabled the DISPLAY settings that I had before to get plotting to work from the command line when running Tiger). Any suggestions what could be wrong? Thank you! Cheers, Martin.
