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

[Berend Hasselman]

If it's not part of the standard Mac OS X system, it comes in Apple Developer Tools.
You'll have to register in the Apple Developer program and download Xcode.
And I'm not sure if you can use the latest Xcode 3.2.2 on Snow Leopard.

It's probably a good idea to wait for a reaction from Simon who is the expert in these matters.

Which version of Mac OS X and X11 do you have? Neither of you have provided that information.
