RAqua
1. In Jaguar /bin/sh is a link to /bin/bash, no longer to /bin/zsh. This gives problems with some scripts. 2. The recommended startup procedure does not work. Adding --gui-aqua starts R in the terminal, but does not arrive at a prompt. This may be related to (1).

I have now finished to write a (prototype) Aqua module for Darwin R. All that you need is now in today's CVS repository of R-devel. You should also wait tomorrow and download the daily R-devel snapshots > from ftp://ftp.stat.math.ethz.ch/Software/R/ because R-devel_2002-09-06.tar.gz does not contain some scripts. You'll find instructions on how to build, install and launch this still experimental version of RAqua that allows the interaction with the new Quartz device "quartz()" and the workspace browser "browseEnv(html=FALSE)". The instructions can be found inside src/modules/aqua/AquaReadMe.txt but essentially there are three steps 1) configure and build ./configure --with-aqua --without-x make (I'm not sure it --without-x is necessary) 2) to install "RAqua" in the Applications folder just execute one time ./AquaInstall from inside src/modules/aqua directory 3) to launch "RAqua" type, from anywhere sh /Applications/RAqua.app/Contents/MacOS/R --gui-aqua Even if you see the RAqua application in the Applications folder, is useless to double click on it. Building is based on fink stuff, so if you are able to build previous versions of Darwin R you should be able to build this one as well. I do not have Jaguar yet (probably next week, but it will be too late), so if any of you can try to build and run this under Jaguar I'll be pleased. General remarks: I released the code in order to stimulate contributions from other Darwin R developers. In particular, at moment, the R Console is necessary to have a working event manager (i.e. responses from the graphic device and other windows). In the future, as R process event suite is going to change, I can hopefully avoid the use of such R Console and use a standard shell but I'm also thinking of some other trick for the meanwhile. RAqua it still marked as "experimental" so don't expect too much. Stefano
