-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 hi,
on OS X, when you try and use something which depends on X11, and you don't have XQuartz installed, you receive an error message, it directs you to download XQuartz, and then it euthanizes your process. (my guess is that there is a skeleton X11 dylib installed in OS X by default, and it is responsible for the error message and the euthanasia. once XQuartz is installed, the skeleton dylib is replaced with a functioning version) in my application, i write SVGs using: grDevices::svg( ... ) this provokes the X11 error message. i was wondering if this is an erroneous/unnecessary loading of X11, or if grDevices::svg() does in fact rely on X11 functions? obviously, if i can avoid making my users install XQuartz if it isn't necessary (not to mention avoiding the abrupt euthanizing of my program), that would be ideal from my perspective. with thanks jonathon - -- JASP - A Fresh Way to Do Statistics http://jasp-stats.org/ - -- How happy is he born and taught, That serveth not another's will; Whose armour is his honest thought, And simple truth his utmost skill This man is freed from servile bands Of hope to rise, or fear to fall: Lord of himself, though not of lands, And, having nothing, yet hath all. -- Sir Henry Wotton -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.20 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - https://gpgtools.org iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJT/aizAAoJEH277gjmPGDYDH4P/3gRNBLCM81s6psZQRSY9lfe jZQ9ZqpjIk68ulyRwl2JxrkHuzCHYbSh6cYRk6N2CBgdxQnfYG0De8dOUHMX6bfh 263yROUTcvQ1/jztqNlvhW0MbpnzVtoCkCXvuAzMx9R0CdLzqmUGZUTkdLESPpdE 5zOkIRtcO/pMuq92MRl3ucYGsP7T+bXRTLY64ZkFnJT3vpNVPBwcIFYigdoxw9cw 8l+PY2iyAn5wyoHbB523GWun5jqgwY1YFnXblftuI5yN5Y1UybOqwfWKnO1367bS Bsw8Z4oXidTqblfvchDiyD1V/nfrm6f8BdAdi/sZZYh/jWB2vYNdgdVNGBi/R85O inVqZzxZ/KU30sV+HVW+H3d798m9mWwTtOA9hsO+bXYsxwYsVUhwSHaUACxN7bz3 vXN3C1zq7HvtsOOR+wMpMIrDvTgwx1MKpFUhbA7n8+acqh+nIkNttSS+I6SAA9EO gP//lBoFy57a5bU1U2vlmvqtWHfJKeIU3BDSchoLn+WUfTdaccKtfgk898lb+Ciu UIKOocWHrE8cIXUdk+7C6GyrVecZa4fe/LAid1NDbDRgK2Bi5vGeYydA+8OGJzlG K6m8fpme0mApOopsXrOLURlscY7829/TK9CrM9F+zHD8xm7cs330KHn650aiF0pB 2q2TifMU7Kxar1FiY+Uq =a93C -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
