problems with X11 in R 2.11.0

I have 10.5.8.  I posted on this a while back.

I also had version 36.. I believe for lippng.

I can only second Brian's response. The build machine is a  
completely clean
Mac OS X 10.5.8 (up to date with all recent security updates) - I  
have not
installed any custom X11 updates. I don't know why Seth has an  
outdated
libpng in the X11 installation. Seth, please make sure your system  
is up to
date. Given the date of the last update I would suspect that   
Software
Update should resolve this issue (if that is the case it's  
nonetheless a
little annoying that Apple's security update would break backward
compatibility).

Cheers,

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 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:
In X11() :

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
