[R-SIG-Mac] R problem (fwd)

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

Hi All

A collaborater has problems loading the grDevices package in the 
basic dmg install of R (Tiger).

To be precise: he has problems loading the grDevices packages when he 
starts R on the commandline (in a terminal window), but _not_ when he 
starts the GUI (!). He has manually installed some graphics libraries (see 
below). At first I thought "ok, messing up the graphics libraries of 
course breaks something", but then I noticed that everything works in 
the R gui (R.app) loads perfectly. Any ideas on how to make the terminal 
version of R work?

The error message from R when I try to load grDevices (it seems that it 
has a probelm with some jpeg stuff - which I also find kind of odd since 
capabilities(jpeg) is FALSE)

> library(grDevices)
Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) :

And this is a list of the installed libraries:


Might come from previous instalation of the GDlib library which required
installatio of 

zlib
