[R-SIG-Mac] Trouble installing iplots

[Simon Urbanek]

Ken,

my guess is (because you didn't tell us) that you're using iplots  
from within the R GUI. Currently that is officially not supported,  
but you can try you luck pasting the following code before loading  
iplots:

.jinit()
.jcall("java/lang/System","S","setProperty","register.about","false")
.jcall("java/lang/System","S","setProperty","register.open","false")
.jcall("java/lang/ 
System","S","setProperty","register.preferences","false")
.jcall("java/lang/System","S","setProperty","register.quit","false")

Note, however, that you're on your own. Due to the way the R and Java  
event loops mesh (or don't to be precise) on Mac OS X, you may  
encounter deadlocks, so I would recommend using JGR with iplots  
instead (at least on a Mac).

Cheers,
Simon
