I can't really think why it wouldn't work then. Perhaps it is to do with \write18 and the right of TeX to run external programs? Or maybe R on the mac does not take the same command-line options? In that case the output of the texexec run should be revealing. R takes more than a second to start up so there are noticable breaks in the output after which error messages from R appear. Btw, the reason it does not work on contextgarden is likely that R is not installed there.
one problem could be that R has this piping; i wonder why a program that takes a 50 meg installation does not support something --output or i must have missed something Hans -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
