Hello! well, that is because in your variants.conf you have disabled x11 (-x11), but the default variants of R-framework specifies +cairo, which requires +x11. So, the way to solve this is:
- Enable cairo only if +x11 is requested - Remove cairo from default_variants either of the options are to be implemented by the maintainer. You should open a ticket at http://trac.macports.org and Cc the maintainer. In the meantime, you can check out the port information by entering: $ port info R-framework -cairo On 09/apr/2013, at 12:08, Federico Calboli <f.calb...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear All, > > I was checking (out of academic curiosity) the port for R. > > :~$ port info R > R @2.15.3 (math, science) > Variants: aqua, debug, gcc43, gcc44, gcc45, gcc46, [+]gcc47, > [+]recommended > > Description: R is a language and environment for statistical > computing and graphics.
