Malloc error when displaying a gbasicdialog #31

Closed blernermhc closed 11 years ago

I have recently installed gWidgets2 and gWidgets2Rgtk2 on my Mac. A simple test fails with an error in malloc. Before failing, it does show a window with an Ok and Cancel button.

Here is what I am doing, running right after starting R:

require(gWidgets2) Loading required package: gWidgets2 Loading required package: digest w <- gbasicdialog(title="Hello, World") Loading required package: gWidgets2RGtk2 Loading required package: memoise Loading required package: RGtk2 visible(w, set=TRUE) R(14313,0x7fff7e9fd960) malloc: * error for object 0x4024000000000000: pointer being freed was not allocated * set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug Abort trap: 6

I am running:

I would appreciate any help in solving this.

Not sure this got figured out, but I'd guess this is the issue with the combination of OS X + R 3.0.x and Gtk. There are some solutions (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15868860/r-3-0-and-gtk-rgtk2-error) but nothing trivial.
