[R-SIG-Mac] Cairo device

[John Maindonald]

Thanks.

I have now upgraded to R-2.11.1 (the latest binary). 

My GTK is from GTK_2.18.5-X11.pkg

Cairo() still gives 
> Cairo()
Error in Cairo() : Graphics API version mismatch

> sessionInfo()
R version 2.11.1 (2010-05-31) 
x86_64-apple-darwin9.8.0 

locale:
[1] C

attached base packages:
[1] grid      stats     graphics  grDevices utils     datasets  methods  
[8] base     

other attached packages:
[1] playwith_0.9-45      gWidgetsRGtk2_0.0-65 gWidgets_0.0-41     
[4] cairoDevice_2.10     lattice_0.18-8      

loaded via a namespace (and not attached):
[1] RGtk2_2.12.18  gridBase_0.4-3 tools_2.11.1  
Warning message:
'DESCRIPTION' file has 'Encoding' field and re-encoding is not possible 

You are saying that I need the version of cairoDevice that is
compiled under R 2.12.0?
