I have aqua macs installed. I would like to use this with a R 2.7.2 that I built on os x 10.3.9. R works fine in the X11 terminal, but I can not copy and paste ... I would like to use aquamacs as my interface to R. It starts up fine and interfaces with R preforms computations, but when i issue the X11() command it does not open up a window. I used the command at the x11 terminal as to the aquamacs FAQ export DISPLAY=0.0 then I checked to see if aquamacs recognized to use x11 (I don't remember the exact command right now) and it returned nil. So, how do I get aquamacs to interface with x11.
I'd recommend using the quartz() device instead of the x11() one. The display is much nicer and it doesn't require X11. Just put options(device = "quartz") in your ~/.Rprofile file to set it as the default device.
Better to set env variable R_INTERACTIVE_DEVICE as per the help for options(), since you don't want a device that does not work in non-interactive sessions. (It is also better to use options(device=grDevices::quartz) to ensure visibility of the device when you need it, in case something else has a function quartz). This is assuming that quartz() actually works on 10.3.9: I didn't think it did (in the current incarnation).
