Hi all,
I am working on Macos x 10.3 (Panther) to build a package consisting of
C/C++ code that is called from R. In the C/C++-sources I use  several
commands to print info to the console:

std::cout << "info" << endl;

and: 

Rprintf("info\n");

Both work fine when R is run on the command line but neither works when
running Raqau (I did check the preference boxes for console and error output
to be written to the console).

Can anyone confirm this behavior of Raqua?
Any suggestions welcome,
Ingmar

Only the Rprintf() one is supposed to work `in all
circumstances';
if it doesn't work in Raqua (sic!  "aqua" is Latin for "water"),
that's a bug in at least one part of your computer environment.
