A not of thanks to all involved with getting 1.9.0 out to OS X with
console.... Very flash and fast!
My question may not be a mac thing: I had a very simple .Rprofile in my
home directory:
cat("Welcome to R...." \n)
quartz("",8,8)
lset(col.whitebg())
cat(\n "Profile Loaded...." \n)
However, with 1.9, it no longer works, saying that quartz cannot be
found. I have tried embedding these into a .First() function, as shown
is ?Startup, with no luck. Any ideas?
Cheers
andrew

Similar questions are being asked in R-devel/R-help almost daily :P. The startup files don't load any packages except for base - and this implies that you need to load such libraries explicitly. In your case you probably want to load the graphics library in order to get the quartz function (for reasons etc. see the list archives). This behavior is not new in 1.9, but the split of base in to individual packages is.

Thanks simon - works a treat adding library(graphics) for quartz and library(lattice) for lset. Cheers andrew
