[R-SIG-Mac] Cairo / X11 problem in Mavericks
I just upgraded my macbook to maverick and i'm running into an old problem. When I do: png(tempfile(), type=cairo) or svg(tempfile()) or even: library(Cairo) R exists with a warning that X11 is required. I also tried: options(bitmapType = 'cairo') png(tempfile()) but same result. If I recall correctly this was not the case in OSX 10.8. Is there any way to use png() or svg() on Mavericks without installing xquartz?
