[R] Installation problem MacOS X

[Rob J Goedman]

Hector,

By application, you mean R or the R + GUI (R.app)?

Please check if you have an existing .RData file in the directory where 
you start R.
If it's R.app and X11 was used when .RData was saved, X11 needs to run 
when the restore takes
place.

Mac OS issues might be better raised on R-SIG-Mac 
(r-sig-mac at stat.math.ethz.ch).

Regards,
Rob
