Hi, Did you folks re-install R (and XQuartz) after upgrading to El Capitan?
As per the R Installation and Administration manual: https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.html#Installing-R-under-OS-X "If you update your OS X version, you should re-install R (and perhaps XQuartz): the installer tailors the installation to the current version of the OS." I am running El Capitan with R 3.2.3 and although I don't use the default GUI (I use ESS), I can run the GUI and get help files without issue.
