[R-SIG-Mac] problems with X11 in R 2.11.0

[Berend Hasselman]

I just now also did (Mac OS X 10.6.3)

 otool -L /usr/X11/lib/libpng12.0.dylib

with result:

/usr/X11/lib/libpng12.0.dylib:
	/usr/X11/lib/libpng12.0.dylib (compatibility version 42.0.0, current version 42.0.0)
	/usr/lib/libz.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.2.3)
	/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 125.0.1)

so things seem to be ok.
Something is indeed wrong with your X or something else.
