In general this is the wrong thing to do, since it enables shipping broken code with no possibility of future fixes. Be patient. Martin

implement? If this is reasonable, what is the recommended way to find out
the code is running in El Capitan and not Mavericks? (For instance, can I
tell from Sys.info()["sysname"]? --I do not have access to a Mac).


Martin mentioned that the Cairo package requires a binary installation that
is not yet available.  Should I continue to wait? There is not a lot of
margin for changing the code, uploading to BioC, waiting for the build, and
making sure it works.  What if it continues to fail on El Capitan by the
14th?



Best,


R.

It seems that what triggers the problem is an innocuous plot.default
followed by dev.hold? (none of which I call explicitly in my code)

I was able to reproduce this with

$ cat segfault-test.R
xx <- parallel::mclapply(1:2, function(i) {
     Cairo::CairoPNG(filename = paste("plt", i, ".png", sep=''))
     dev.hold()
})

$ R -f segfault-test.R

The El-Capitain builds are still in a great deal of flux, and in
particular the Cairo package requires a binary installation that is not
yet available (the Cairo package is used is actually from Mavericks).
The best strategy is probably to wait until binaries become available.

At least another package, arrayQualityMetrics seems to experience a
somewhat similar problem:

http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/devel/bioc-LATEST/arrayQualityMetrics/veracruz2-buildsrc.html

where, again, an apparently innocuous plot.default followed by dev.hold
triggers a segfault (and there is no mclapply here)

Traceback:
 1: dev.hold()
 2: plot.default(-2, -1, pch = "", xlim = range(-1, (dim(mns)[2])),     ylim = range(min(as.vector(mns)) 
- 1, max(as.vector(mns)) +         1), xlab = "5' <-----> 3'\n Probe Number ", ylab = ylab,     
axes = FALSE, main = "RNA degradation plot", ...)
 3: plot(-2, -1, pch = "", xlim = range(-1, (dim(mns)[2])), ylim = range(min(as.vector(mns)) -     1, 
max(as.vector(mns)) + 1), xlab = "5' <-----> 3'\n Probe Number ",     ylab = ylab, axes = FALSE, 
main = "RNA degradation plot",     ...)
 4: plotAffyRNAdeg(AffyRNAdeg(expressionset, log.it = TRUE), lwd = 1,     cols 
= x$arrayColors)




I am not sure how to proceed here. Any suggestions?


Thanks,


R.
