I reported on installing xcode tools in my email
 Sat 2/13/2021 3:59 PM
It didn't help.

I did all this R_4.0.4 RC testing after updating to Big Sur 11.2.1.

the Xcode Command line tools are missing. Install them and see what happens.

Did you recently upgrade MacOS?

and the R session is still alive.


This rasies for me a different question. Why should I want X11()?

When X11 was working it was very slow, and didn't allow paging back through
previous images.

In favor of X11, I think it uses the display space better. X11() has better size and spacing for xlab, ylab, and main than quartz(). But that isn't a strong enough
reason to use it while develkoping a graph. When I want it to look good,
I go directly to pdf() and get the spacing that I think looks better.

Have you tried the change to DISPLAY, i.e.

Sys.setenv(DISPLAY=":0.0")

before running X11()?

My prior was that the xcode call was irrelevant is that X11() using XQuart 8.0.3beta
worked with intel R_4.0.3 on the Mac M1.

that has nothing to do with Xquartz but means you need to install the Command line tools

sudo xcode-select —install

Based on your recommendation I reinstalled XQuartz 2.7.11 instead of the 8.0.3beta.
X11() now does not work at all.

X11()
xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun
C-c C-c C-c C-c

Force-Killing XQuartz from the Activity Monitor doesn't help.
I have to Force-kill the R process.

Dear macOS useRs,

please test the latest R 4.0.4 RC builds from

https://mac.r-project.org/

especially if you are running macOS Big Sur. The known issues introduced by Big Sur have been fixed, but I cannot replicate nor test the spurious touchbar warning.

Also a reminder to *not* install XQuartz betas even if XQuartz ask you to - they are betas for a reason (=unstable) and break things.

Cheers,
Simon
