RAqua with X11 TclTk

That's a somewhat unfortunate step back, and a rather drastic hack to get around the eventloop problem.
yes, but only for 1.8.1, event loop changes requires time and it is planned not before 1.9.0
I make two versions of the tcltk package, one in RAqua, one in /usr/local/lib/R/library (the X11 version). I then make softlinks from all packages in /usr/local/lib/R/library to ~/Library/RAqua/library and then remove the softlinks to the packages that are already in RAqua (including tcltk). Now the Emacs and terminal versions use the X11 version and RAqua uses the Aqua version of tcltk. http://gifi.stat.ucla.edu/pub gives the deatils, including the ~/.emacs one needs.
Jan, the AquaTclTk does not seem to work fine at the moment. I can say more: you can try to run (from CRAN RAqua which is AquaTclTk) the R cmd line from an xterm and load the tcltk library. And you have Aquatcltk from X11 !
I have no build problems in Panther, except the problem with g77-3.4 when compiling tseries.
apparently we cannot build correctly R-devel on Panther. Try to launch x11() from RAqua console built on Panther using Apple's gcc and please let us know if it works for you.
Go back to g77-3.3 for this and you're fine. Panther fixes the pty bug in Darwin, and thus R now functions fine in Carbon, command line, and X11 Emacs using X11 graphics. See http://members.shaw.ca/akochoi-emacs/index.html On Nov 8, 2003, at 8:19, Stefano Iacus wrote:
I've built a version of RAqua that uses X11 TclTk and NOT AquaTclTk. http://www.economia.unimi.it/R/RAquaX11.dmg (15 MB disk image) The idea is that you: launch RAqua, launch X application (the X Server), and from inside R type x11() # just tt set DISPLAY to :0.0. Eventually close this window device, we don't need this. load(tcltk) quartz() demo(tkdensity) It works on my Panther machine as well and it comes with three installers for: libreadline, tcltk (the X11 version) and the libxml2 in case you want to use the prebuilt XML package. Thomas Lumley has found oddities in configuring/building R on Panther so I built it on Jaguar and it works as well on panther. I would like to propose this version of RAqua for R-1.8.1, i.e. built only against X11/tcltk. This will allow one binary only for R that can run tcltk from Emacs or phyton for example. Could you please test it on Jaguar and Panther before the end of the next week? I've built this version with the following config ./configure --enable-R-shlib --with-blas='-framework vecLib' --with-lapack --with-aqua Of course, I have built from sources tck and tk 8.4.4. If you want to do this take care to configure and build the tcl/tk sources from inside the "unix" directory. stefano
