Looking through the archives, I see that the developers of rgl don't have access to a 64 bit Mac, and are waiting for someone else to take the initiative and make an appropriate patch. Unfortunately, I think this is...

I think it might be worthwhile to think about getting R to work on the iPad, especially if it can access iWork/Numbers spreadsheets... I realize someone brought up trying this on the iPhone a couple of years back, and...

I am using the latest R (2.3) within Emacs/ESS on an iMac G5. When I type "install.packages()" within R, the program crashes, generating the following error: > install.packages() --- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this...

Scanning various lists for R, I've noticed that a few people have raised the question of getting the "rgl" package to run in R on the Mac operating system. As far as I can tell (and I must admit...

I think there's been a change in R regarding when and how you define the display. Instead of within the X11() command, you need to type first, at the R prompt: > Sys.putenv("DISPLAY"=":0") Hope this helps/works...

When I try to close R and the R-GUI by clicking either the little red Aqua button on the left or the "light switch" button on the right, R crashes, giving this message: *** caught bus error *** address 0x0, cause...

When installing rgl from source, I get the following three warnings: > scene.cpp: In member function `void Texture::beginUse (RenderContext*)': > scene.cpp:1994: warning: invalid conversion from `int*' to `GLint*' > ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _glPointParameteri > /System/Library/Frameworks...

This is very exciting; I wasn't expecting such a prompt response. The only references I have found are these two threads from nearly a year ago: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-mac/2008-February/004602.html https...

I am having trouble saving graphs. Using the Aqua interface (which is not my preferred interface), I have no problems plotting a graph, adding additional lines, points, references, etc., and then saving it to a file using, for example, the...

With some very kind help from Jan, I have built R such that it can utilize quartz devices from the command line on my iMac G5 (running OS 10.4.4). My understanding is that I cannot use the R...

I should have included in my last message a reference to the discussion of this issue on the R developers' list: http://maths.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/devel/03a/0982.html Here, Simon Urbanek says: >In Mac OS X...

Thanks. I was indeed trying to build a Carbon version. I'd love to see it run natively -- it would surely look a lot better, and it seems to me that pretty graphics are the whole point of this package...

Could you explain what remote-GUI would entail? If I allow remote connections to my desktop at home, I can run R through one of the iPhone ssh apps. But it obviously doesn't allow graphic outputs to display on...

I think I've found the cause of the crash. I had set up my plist so that, by defauly, R-GUI would not ask me whether I want to save my workspace, but rather would assume I don't...
