Re: [R] Installation problem MacOS X
Hector, By application, you mean R or the R + GUI (R.app)? Please check if you have an existing .RData file in the directory where you start R. If it's R.app and X11 was used when .RData was saved, X11 needs to run when the restore takes place. Mac OS issues might be better raised on R-SIG-Mac ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).

I would try the "Console" utility (in /Applications/Utilities) to have a look at console.log and system.log (or inspect the logs directly: /private/var/log/system.log and /Library/Logs/Console/vdh/console.log) immediately _after_ an attempt to start the R app. probably it's a permission problem all the same. regards joerg ps: there is a R mailing list exclusively for OS X users: https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac __ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
