After upgrading to OS X 10.10 Yosemite I started to receive the following error log when running my Rcmdr
package in R using library(Rcmdr)
:
Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'tcltk', details:
call: dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...)
error: unable to load shared object '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.1/Resources/library/tcltk/libs/tcltk.so':
dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.1/Resources/library/tcltk/libs/tcltk.so, 10): Library not loaded: /usr/X11/lib/libXft.2.dylib
Referenced from: /usr/local/lib/libtk8.6.dylib
Reason: image not found
Error: package or namespace load failed for 'Rcmdr'
Could you help me understand how to fix it?
This mac os x troubleshooting didn't help.
Execute the following in a terminal window:
locate libXft.2.dylib
or do it from an R console:
system("locate libXft.2.dylib")
On my Yosemite install it's in /opt/X11/lib/libXft.2.dylib
.
If your setup is similar, then:
sudo ln -s /opt/X11 /usr/X11
should help fix this temporarily, but I'd keep looking for a Yosemite R package (since that will accommodate all the changes Apple made to the filesystem structure).
Of note: On my work Mac (Mavericks) this symlink is already there.
