[R-SIG-Mac] [External] Re: crash due to rgl and base graphics conflict

Hi,

Just installed rgl and I get the same crash and error message from the original post below, running R from the CLI.

If I run R from within ESS (what I normally use), I get:

  Process R abort trap: 6 at Mon Aug  3 09:15:32 2020

If I run R from R.app (the default macOS GUI), the command runs fine and I get the graphic.

I am running R 4.0.2 (2020-06-22) on macOS 10.15.6.

R was cleanly installed, and XQuartz (2.7.11) was updated afterwards.

Regards,

Marc Schwartz
