[R-SIG-Mac] [R-sig-mac] trouble with point in polyhedron computation

Just to complicate things   :-(

If I load alphashape3d, I get a crash with the following error

“To open “R”, you need to install X11. Would you like to install X11 now?”    

I have been running R 3.0.3. in a vanilla quartz window in Mavericks (OSX 10.9) on an iMac.

CRASH AND ERROR POPUP

I would appreciate any enlightenment about why the command at the end (below in a toy example) crashes R when I try to ID the points in the hull using pip3d(), from package ptinpoly. convhulln() is from package geometry.  Have I not supplied the right “Faces” argument to pip3d()?
