[R-SIG-Mac] X11 and Yosemite

[Jorge I Velez]

Dear all,

I recently updated my OS to Yosemite (v 10.10.1)

I installed XQuartz from http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/ and
followed the suggestion at
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26489928/cant-load-x11-in-r-after-os-x-yosemite-upgrade
 However, when I tried

R> plot(rnorm(10))

the following error shows up:

Error in (function (display = "", width, height, pointsize, gamma, bg,  :
  X11 module cannot be loaded
In addition: Warning message:
In (function (display = "", width, height, pointsize, gamma, bg,  :
  unable to load shared object
'/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/modules//R_X11.so':
  dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/modules//R_X11.so, 6):
Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libcairo.2.dylib
  Referenced from:
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/modules//R_X11.so
  Reason: image not found

When I looked at /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/modules/ I could
actually see the R_X11.so file in there.   The X11.app is located at
/Applications/Utilities and runs with no problems when initialised.

Could somebody please point me in the right direction to solve this?
Below is my sessionInfo() and output from capabilities().

Thank you very much for your time.

Best regards,
Jorge Velez
