Back to that question of the gui hanging at commands like "Save As" I brought up a few weeks back. Someone posted a similar question to SO and someone else posted the following claim: "Apparently, this is a bug in R's GUI. Some OS X features/libraries that used to be in place in earlier versions of OS X have been removed in Yosemite. You can work around this bug by running R from the terminal / command line. Fire up the terminal app (quickest way is to use Spotlight search: cmd+space -> terminal), and type the following command: /Applications/R.app/Contents/MacOS/R " Is this possible? rational? I don't know how Yosemite cranks up an executable, so have no idea how booting the R-executable directly might differ from a Finder double-click. What I did find is that the Terminal window gives me the following warnings: " 2015-01-26 15:48:55.319 R[57903:2792043] Failed to connect (cancelButton) outlet from (SelectList) to (NSButton): missing setter or instance variable 2015-01-26 15:48:55.319 R[57903:2792043] Failed to connect (okButton) outlet from (SelectList) to (NSButton): missing setter or instance variable " Carl
Sent from a parallel universe almost, but not entirely, nothing at all like this one.
