Re: [R-SIG-Mac] Is Yosemite now safe for most of us?
Yes, the bugs have been well and truly worked out.

For the vast majority of us who are vanilla uses of the current versions of R and Rstudio, is Yosemite (10.10.current) now as safe as Mavericks (10.9.current)? I'm hoping a single short response from one of the R-on-Mac leaders will give me (and thousands more) either a green or red light at this point. Thanks for all the great work you do.

At RStudio, we've seen one problem - the PATH is not passed along to sub-processes, e.g. these two functions return different values: Sys.getenv(PATH) system(echo $PATH) I seem to remember discussions on R-SIG-Mac that system(echo $PATH) gets passed to the bash environment which is not the same as the R environment. It is expected that the $PATH variable is different in the two environments. 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.

I have been running Yosemite for quite a while and didn't see any issues so far. Given how little changed in Yosemite I don't expect any changes to the Mavericks build at this point (i.e. Mavericks will remain the base target for all recent OS X builds). At RStudio, we've seen one problem - the PATH is not passed along to sub-processes, e.g. these two functions return different values: Sys.getenv(PATH) system(echo $PATH) This breaks Sys.which().

[R-SIG-Mac] Using X11 from the mac terminal
X11() Error in X11(d$display, d$width, d$height, d$pointsize, d$gamma, d$colortype, : unable to start device X11 In addition: Warning message: In X11() : unable to open connection to X11 display '' What am I doing wrong? X11 is open, and I have Sys.getenv(DISPLAY) [1] 0.0.0.0:0 I'm sure this used to work, but something has changed in the last few months. Any ideas? Thanks!

Ah, that seems to be the problem - thanks!

If in doubt, open the xterm and look at echo $DISPLAY sometimes it may be something like :2 instead (it depends on your other X11 processes, weather and the constellation of stars...)
