Install (or re-install) XQuartz. As the R-admin manual §4 says
Various parts of the build require XQuartz to be installed: see
https://www.xquartz.org/releases. These include the tcltk package and
the X11 device: attempting to use these without XQuartz will if possible
remind you. This is also needed for some builds of the
cairographics-based devices (which are not often used on macOS) such as
png(type = "cairo").
svg() is a cairographics-based device .

Hello:
In R 4.1.0 under macOS 11.4, 'svg("tst.svg")' says, "failed to
load cairo DLL".
This works fine under Windows 10. (I tested under RStudio
1.4.1106, R terminal and R Console all with the same results.)
The first time I try "svg('tst.svg')" in a new R session, I get a
longer message; see below for that and for sessionInfo(). When I
repeat "svg('tst.svg')", I get only "failed to load cairo DLL".
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Spencer Graves
svg('tst.svg')
