[R-SIG-Mac] svg() fails (cairo.so unable to load)

[Marius Hofert]

Hi,

I get ...

> svg(filename=(file <- "foo.svg"))
Warning messages:
1: In svg(filename = (file <- "foo.svg")) :
  unable to load shared object
'/usr/local/R/R-3.2.2_build/library/grDevices/libs//cairo.so':
  dlopen(/usr/local/R/R-3.2.2_build/library/grDevices/libs//cairo.so,
6): image not found
2: In svg(filename = (file <- "foo.svg")) : failed to load cairo DLL

... although I installed XQuartz (and X11() works) after upgrading to
El Capitan. Do I need to configure R with something like
"--with-cairo"?

Cheers,
Marius
