My suspicion is (and I confirmed it now) that this is caused by two versions of libcairo.2.dylib being loaded, namely the one from Fink in /sw/lib and the one from X11 in /opt/X11/lib (there are also two versions of libpng15.15.dylib). The culprit is /sw/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.15/Resources/modules/R_X11.dylib, which links with libcairo from X11, and this despite the flagsort effort on the linker line: flag-sort -r gcc -dynamiclib -Wl,-headerpad_max_install_names -undefined dynamic_lookup -single_module -multiply_defined suppress -L/sw/lib -o R_X11.dylib dataentry.o devX11.o rotated.o rbitmap.o -lSM -lICE -L/sw/lib -L/opt/X11/lib -lpangocairo-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lintl -lz -lcairo -lX11 -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lXt -lXmu -ltiff -ljpeg -lpng -lz -L../../../lib -lR -lintl -Wl,-framework -Wl,CoreFoundation There is -L/sw/lib before -L/opt/X11/lib, but as it happens, this isn't enough. The linker appears to have a strong bias in favor of /opt/X11: If one replaces on this linker line /opt/X11 by /usr/X11, which is the same thing via a symlink, then the cairo and png libs are correctly linked from /sw/lib, and the crash goes away. If one puts -L/opt/X11/lib anywhere on the linker line, even at the very end, then the wrong cairo and png libs are linked in. Very weird. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
