[R-SIG-Mac] X11 missing? ... was Re: [R] rgl persp3d bounding box color problem.

[Rob Goedman]

David,

I did notice in your log.txt file the following message:

	ld warning: in /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.dylib, missing required  
architecture x86_64 in file

It seems a bit far fetched for the missing symbol to come from that  
library though (but this is a
JavaScripter/pythoneer talking :-).

As I normally work on R-2.9, I just went back to R-2.8.1 and tried the  
terminal procedure.
Got the rgl examples running without problems. So that is not the  
cause of the error message either.

I also noticed you are using the latest rgl from R-Forge (83-751),  
while I was using 83-3.
Both versions work on my system.

If someone could help out where _FT_Attach_File comes from ...

Rob
