[R-SIG-Mac] R hack

[Tamas K Papp]

Thank you very much, this is really nice!

A minor glitch: if I don't open a quartz() window explicitly,

library(tcltk)
plot(1:5,1:5)

makes R segfault.  Do you experience this?

If I plot first, and plots appear in an x11() window, everything runs
smooth.  It also works if I open a quartz() window.

I installed batteries-included, did a

/Developer/Tools/Rez -t  APPL Carbon.r -o R  

(this was on Friday), then installed the Hack.dmg on this.  Should I
reinstall everyhing from scratch?

Thanks

Tamas
