Subject: [rgl-general] RGL open3d() crashes in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion
Message-ID: <CAD7UxtYfJaB=X5F=BQKqdiW6C3u+wQawHDbD-4Zw4JHFY3Vo4Q@mail.gmail.com>

Dear RGL users/developers

In Mac OS X 10.7 Lion (10.7.2) I am experiencing a problem that RGL
open3d() will crashes X11 after about 5 open3d() or surface3d() calls.

This can be easily duplicated by this minimal example:

> library( "rgl" )
> open3d()
[1] 1
> open3d()
[1] 2
> open3d()
[1] 3
> open3d()
[1] 4
> open3d()
[1] 5
>
Here RGL crashed X11 !!!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
R still works at this point but will crash too if you force-quit the
unresponsive X11 window.

This does not seem to happen as badly on Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard

It becomes very painful to use this otherwise wonderful RGL package for 3d
plotting on Mac.
Does anybody has any idea? Thanks!!!

Regards,
