[R-SIG-Mac] R 64 Bit Leopard and X11

[Jason Ellul]

Hi all,
I am using Mathew's method for installing 64 bit R on Leopard
(http://www.matthewckeller.com/html/64_bit_r_on_mac.html). When I try to
plot in an X11 window R keeps crashing. Has anyone else experienced this or
does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix it?

When I install the standard 32 bit R 2.7.2 from the DMG this error does not
occur.

I guess I could try compiling R from source myself rather using Mathew's
method but before I do that I just wish to find out whether it is a problem
in the Universal nightly builds for Mac OS X, the install method or
something else.

Traceback:
 1: axis(side = side, at = at, labels = labels, ...)
 2: Axis.default(...)

 5: plot.default(1:10)
 6: plot(1:10)

Possible actions:
1: abort (with core dump, if enabled)
2: normal R exit
3: exit R without saving workspace
4: exit R saving workspace

Thank you,
