I removed my current R.app and installed the one at:
http://r.research.att.com/#GUI
R-3.0-branch-snowleopard-signed.pkg
but I still get an immediate crash when I 1) open the preferences
window and 2) click any of the icons in the main "Show All" screen
(but not the tabs)
I also noticed that switching away from either the Color or the Syntax
tab briefly flashes (open then close) the color wheel selection dialog
> sessionInfo()
R version 3.0.2 Patched (2013-11-04 r64155)
Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0 (64-bit)
locale:
[1] en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/C/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8
attached base packages:
[1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base
Is there any other specific information that would help?
Thanks,
John
