I just now also did (Mac OS X 10.6.3)

 otool -L /usr/X11/lib/libpng12.0.dylib

with result:

/usr/X11/lib/libpng12.0.dylib:
       /usr/X11/lib/libpng12.0.dylib (compatibility version 42.0.0, current version 42.0.0)
       /usr/lib/libz.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.2.3)
       /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 125.0.1)

so things seem to be ok.
Something is indeed wrong with your X or something else.

x86_64-apple-darwin9.8.0

Result of  otool -L /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/modules/i386/R_X11.so
on my machine is:
...
      /usr/X11/lib/libpng12.0.dylib (compatibility version 36.0.0, current version 36.0.0)

which I assume will mean that running R2.11.0 will give error messages similar to those of the OP.
I have Apple's Xquartz 2.3.5 (xorg-server 1.4.2-apple53)(the latest from Apple for Snow Leopard, I think)
And I have not fiddled with X at all.

Something is wrong with your system software.  On my Leopard box:

tystie% otool -L /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/modules/i386/R_X11.so
...
     /usr/X11/lib/libpng12.0.dylib (compatibility version 42.0.0, current version 42.0.0)

So your /usr/X11/lib/libpng12.0.dylib is different from mine (and from the CRAN build machine's).

Your choices are

- to resolve this (and it is not an R issue). I'd start by running the software updater ....

- to build R from the sources against the software on your machine.

I had the same Issue with 2.10.1. never got it resolved. I was hoping that
2.11 would fix it...alas

I installed R 2.11.0 today and immediately came across an issue I did
not experience using version 2.10.1.  For some reason, I can not use
X11 in R.  Here's a simple example:

X11()

Error in X11() : X11 module cannot be loaded
In addition: Warning message:

I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.8.  This error occurs when running R.app and
while running R from the terminal.  After experience this I
reinstalled 2.10.1 and tried the same command and had no problems.
Just to make sure, I installed 2.11.0 again, and sure enough, I got
the same error.  Is this a bug, or have I done something wrong?

Thanks,

Seth
