[R-SIG-Mac] XML crash

[Simon Urbanek]

Adrian,

are you sure you don't have the wrong binary installed? You are using Mavericks build of R so you must re-install the packages to use the Mavericks binaries. Using the proper binary it works just fine for me:

> library(XML)
> libxmlVersion()
$major
[1] "2"

$minor
[1] "09"

$patch
[1] "00"


Check the build info for the package:

> read.dcf(system.file("DESCRIPTION",package="XML"))[,"Built"]
                                                              Built 
"R 3.1.0; x86_64-apple-darwin13.1.0; 2014-04-24 15:04:22 UTC; unix" 

> R.version
               _                                          
platform       x86_64-apple-darwin13.1.0                  

Cheers,
Simon
