[ESS-bugs] Fwd: quartz device from R using ESS

[A.J. Rossini]

 Is X11 running (i.e. is there an X window manager?)

In addition to Stephen's commets, might try
  M-x shell
  xterm

(in the shell, to see if X11 really can be used).

I recall a post from Jan de Leeuw on this topic, but in the context of
the R-sig-mac mailing list, not ESS's, but he commented on Emacs/ESS
and X11 usage.

Are you using Jan's  (the UCLA) package?
