When checking a package on MacOS High Sierra the XQuartz server starts up at the "checking S3 generic/method consistency" step. This is easy to reproduce:
Start RStudio Select New->Project->NewDirectory->R Package (I checked "use .git") BuildPane->More->BuildSourcePackage At the bas command line run: R CMD check --as-cran empty_0.1.0.tar.gz At the "checking S3 generic/method consistency" step XQuartz will start up. I can work around it. But I think it may be a possible symptom of a bad dependency that may cause trouble on Windows and Mac systems without an X-server. It seems to require the --as-cran flag to trigger. --------------- John Mount http://www.win-vector.com/ <http://www.win-vector.com/> Our book: Practical Data Science with R http://www.manning.com/zumel/ <http://www.manning.com/zumel/> [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-package-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel
