[R-SIG-Mac] function data.entry() doesn't work and generate error

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Well, it appears that your build (which is not one of those supported 
here) did not include X11, and that must have been purposely excluded.

So the error is correct and the warning adds information ....  To use 
data.entry() you need to be using R.app, Windows or have R compiled to 
use X11 and and X server available.

Note that building R as a framework only makes sense if you install the 
framework in a standard location, not /usr/local/Cellar/r/3.2.2_1/ .
