Dear Professor Ripley, Thanks for helping. - Yes, cairo.so did not exist - Okay, following the 'first approach', I have to install XQuartz before R and set "export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/X11/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig". Is the latter what you mean by "point to it"? I'll install R again soon (yes, from source) and then try that. Thanks again & cheers from Waterloo (ON), Marius
svg() fails (cairo.so unable to load)

For that approach, that should work.
