Hi John, I cannot replicate the problem on my machine, which version of R and RStudio are you using? I don't think I can solve the issue but it could help others to have a finer idea about your system. Also I used a terminal running bash outside RStudio, what did you do?
I did your test using RStudio Version 1.1.456 in the following R environment > sessionInfo() R version 3.5.1 (2018-07-02) Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0 (64-bit) Running under: macOS 10.14.2 Matrix products: default BLAS: /System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/vecLib.framework/Versions/A/libBLAS.dylib LAPACK: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.5/Resources/lib/libRlapack.dylib locale: [1] en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/C/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods [7] base loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] compiler_3.5.1 tools_3.5.1 yaml_2.2.0 > devtools::session_info() ─ Session info ────────────────────────────────────────────────────── setting value version R version 3.5.1 (2018-07-02) os macOS 10.14.2 system x86_64, darwin15.6.0 ui RStudio language (EN) collate en_US.UTF-8 ctype en_US.UTF-8 tz Europe/Berlin date 2019-01-18 Best, Alex On Fri, 18 Jan 2019 at 02:45, John Mount <jmo...@win-vector.com> wrote: > When checking a package on MacOS High Sierra the XQuartz server starts up > at the "checking S3 generic/method consistency" step.
