Subject: R-2.3.0 crashes under ess-5.3.0
I think there's been a change in R regarding when and how you define the
display. Instead of within the X11() command, you need to type first, at the R
prompt:
> Sys.putenv("DISPLAY"=":0")
Hope this helps/works.

Hi
[sending here after trying R-help and ess-help with
no success]
With R-2.3.0 (dmg downloaded just now), ess-5.3.0:
trying to open an X11 graphics window with
X11("octopus:0.0") results in R crashing:
> X11("octopus:0.0")
Error: Couldn't find per display information
Process R exited abnormally with code 1 at Fri Apr 28 14:05:06 2006
(typing "X11()" doesn't crash, but doesn't open an X window either).
The situation is fine running R from an xterm. I can
open a window with either X11() or X11("octopus:0.0") from
within an Xterm R session.
I can also open a window fine from R-2.2.1 from within emacs.
Can someone help me diagnose this problem?
