Thanks. Unfortunately, I now get a huge number of error messages:  
starting with:

It is and I have cairoDevice 2.9-2 installed, but I got this message  
when I tried to load playwith 0.9-43 when using the 64 bit GUI:

Loading required package: lattice
Loading required package: cairoDevice
Error: package 'cairoDevice' is not installed for 'arch=x86_64'
In addition: Warning message:
In install.packages(c("cairoDevice"), lib = "/Library/Frameworks/ 
R.framework/Resources/library/",  :
   installation of package 'cairoDevice' had non-zero exit status

So I thought I would try to install from source. Wasn't there a time  
in the not too distant past when Mac binary packages in CRAN did not  
support the 64-bit architecture ?
