x11 10.3.9 - R-SIG-Mac | R Mailing Lists

Sun, Sep 21, 2008 2:31 PM #

I am trying to compile R 2.7.2 from source and running the ./configure
command ends with

configure: error: --with-x=yes (default) and X11 headers/libs are not available

I have found out that apple X11 is broken but I can not figure out how
to fix it.

thanks

Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are
so little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and
make us feel like gods. We are mammals, and have not exhausted the
annoying little problems of being mammals.

Do you have X11 installed?  It should be in Applications/Utilities, if
I recall.  If not, you will need to install it from your original
install disk.  I just can't remember when apple started including X11
in the basic installation.

after a day of fooling around with this I had to install X11 SDK
within the Xcode tools.  I am getting close to getting making the file
and I am sure that there will be some sort of hang up,  but you'll
will hear about it. thanks for the help
