Running into the following error when I try to use ggplot2 and plot within the console after upgrading to Yosemite:
Error in (function (display = "", width, height, pointsize, gamma, bg, :
X11 module cannot be loaded
In addition: Warning message:
In (function (display = "", width, height, pointsize, gamma, bg, :
unable to load shared object '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/modules//R_X11.so':
dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/modules//R_X11.so, 6): Library not loaded: /usr/X11/lib/libSM.6.dylib
Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/modules//R_X11.so
Reason: image not found
How can I go about resolving this?
回答1:
Execute the following in a terminal window:
locate libSM.6.dylib
or do it from an R console:
system("locate libSM.6.dylib")
On my Yosemite install it's in /opt/X11/lib/libSM.6.dylib.
If your setup is similar, then:
sudo ln -s /usr/X11 /opt/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).
回答2:
It looks like the OS update deleted the /usr/X11 and /usr/X11R6 symlinks. Please just re-install XQuartz from http://xquartz.macosforge.org which will setup the symlinks again for you.

Perhaps won't work for everyone, i'm not even quite sure what the problem was, but I found the same error messages after installing Yosemite and was able to solve the problem simply by reinstalling XQuartz from http://xquartz.macosforge.org
回答4:
Had the same problem with R and OS X Yosemite (but with libpng15.15.dylib file). For me the following steps were helpful:
install latest XQuartz 2.7.7
sudo ln -s /opt/X11/lib/libpng15.15.dylib /usr/local/lib/libpng15.15.dylib
