Re: [R-SIG-Mac] xquartz hanging

Hi, I am currently running R 4.5.0 on macOS 15.5 (Sequoia), and I also use emacs (30.1) and ess (25.1.0), the latter from elpa, along with other emacs packages. I do not have the issue that you are referring to below, and did not under prior versions to the best of my recollection. I do tend t

Hi, On macOS, you would generally want to use: read.delim(file = pipe("pbpaste")) See the "Clipboard" section of ?connections, where you will find: "macOS users can use pipe("pbpaste") and pipe("pbcopy", "w") to read from and write to that system's clipboard." Regards, Marc Schwartz > On

Hi Antony, Going back and looking at the thread over the weekend, I am wondering, if you did not uninstall the older version of TexLive/MacTeX, and there may be some conflicts with TinyTex, especially given the age of your old TexLive/MacTeX version. I found the following report, albeit, from

Dennis, Do you have a TeX installation on your Mac? pdflatex is typically installed with TeX, which for macOS is usually via MacTeX: https://tug.org/mactex/ Once you have that installed, you should be good to go, but if you are currently running an interactive R session, you will likely need

Spencer, FWIW, this may be a situation where you need to remove your current/older installations of TeXLive and start fresh with a clean install of TeXLive 2020. It is possible that there is some conflict or corruption of the current multiple installations. That 'which pdflatex' is pointing di

Ok, strange. I figured that there was some conflict/corruption in place with R.app that was not immediately clear. Peter raised the possibility of a firewall issue, but I am curious as to why that would affect the use of help in R.app, but not via other environments, like the Mac Terminal app.
