fix() error with XQuartz cannot be solved
I was following this extremely easy example from ISLR book,
I used fix() for the first time (I usually just used head()), and I got the first error... I followed the error and went to xquartz.macosforge.org and installed it, and then I got the second error "X11 dataentry cannot be loaded"
I thought fix() was part of base... why I am I getting two different errors? Why is XQuartz needed for an R base function?
I restarted r studio and now I get:
r

Because "base R" and "X11" are not mutually exclusive. R for macOS is (usually by default) compiled with X11 support. What happens if you restart RStudio and try it again? What version of R do you have? How did you install it? Do you have command line tools for macos installed? What's yoursessionInfo(). Did you tryutils::edit.data.frame()? (please answer those in question and in code blocks … it would also be better to copy the console text output and put that in a code block vs make us load images).

When you run fix(), it writes the object to a file and runs edit() on it. edit() looks at getOption("editor") to find out how to edit the file.
Whatever editor it is finding requires X11. You not only need to install XQuartz, you need to make sure that the environment variable "DISPLAY" is set properly so X11 knows where to open the window. Use Sys.getenv("DISPLAY") to see how yours is set.
Mine is set to "/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.wcbe5TKA8E/org.macosforge.xquartz:0". If you have just installed XQuartz, you may need to reboot, or at least re-open the terminal, to have this set properly.
