I just did a workshop for new R users. the only serious installation
problem I
saw was Macintosh users and tctlk. From this discussion, I knew to tell both
people they needed to download quartz.macosforge.org
and indeed that solved it.
Is there a place on the package DESCRIPTION file to state that dependency,
thus triggering the download and installation of quartz? That would
take the responsibility for discovering this need away from the end user?

Dear Simon,
I installed Yosemite a couple of days ago and everything seems to work fine
so far, including the tcltk demo that caused problems for Peter, and the
Rcmdr package, which gives Tcl/Tk a pretty good workout. I first
reinstalled XQuartz, as suggested, and I also reinstalled R and updated all
packages, though the latter two steps probably weren't necessary. I figured
that it would help to hear positive experiences as well as problems.
The only issue that I've encountered so far is specific to checking
packages under RStudio, which doesn't appear to find pdflatex; OTOH, R CMD
check runs fine in a terminal window. I haven't yet tried to resolve this
problem.
Best,
John

I wasn't able to reproduce but I suspect those are all red herrings -
there are really no subprocesses involved at all in either case.

Dear all,
I wonder whether this issue also accounts for the tcltk problems that
have been reported. (I haven't yet upgraded to Yosemite myself, hoping
to wait for the wrinkles to be ironed out, though I'll likely do so
shortly if only to see what happens.)
Best,
John

If the full environment isn’t getting passed to R-spawned sub-
processes, that might explain an error I’ve been having since the
update: when R is launched from the command line, calls that should
create an X11 window in the background fail unless an X11 window has
already been created with the width and height specified:
plot(rnorm(100))
Error in .External2(C_X11, d$display, d$width, d$height,
d$pointsize, :
invalid 'width' or 'height'
X11()
Error in .External2(C_X11, d$display, d$width, d$height,
d$pointsize, :
invalid 'width' or 'height'
X11(width = 5, height = 5)
plot(rnorm(100))
[now it works - and any number of additional windows can be spawned
without repeating the error]
[quitting R and reopening, without quitting XQuartz, and I get the
same
error calling plot() before X11(width = , height = )
This does not happen in RStudio. I don’t use the R.app gui; I
opened
it just now to test and I got a slew of path-related errors, but
they’re as likely to have to do with my not-maintained R.app as with
anything else.
I had not reported this already because I wasn’t confident whether
its
a yosemite issue, an R-patched issue, or just something odd in the
way
I built R.
If incomplete-environment-passing is the new normal, is this not
going
to be a common issue for packages that spawn sub-processes?

No, it is not. It is expected that the path in the terminal be
different to the path in R, it is _not_ expected that the path in R
be
different to the path in a subprocess started by R.
(Well it is now expected, because this appears to be a new security
feature in Yosemite)
The best thread I could find on the problem is here:
