RAqua

This is rather strange.
Did you use the AquaInstall script?
You can't simply run it from R-devel/bin

1. In Jaguar /bin/sh is a link to /bin/bash, no longer to /bin/zsh.

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).

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.
