upgrading Xquartz breaks loon package

I'm not a developer, but I'll do my best here. While I was working with spline functions I discovered this fabulous loon package, followed the vignette, and had a lot of fun. Loon apparently calls Xquartz(), and Xquartz() and asked me to install/upgrade the package, so I did at the end of my session. When I tried to start up again, loon would no longer work. It hangs RStudio and you have to force RStudio to quit otherwise it will just sit there waiting for something until hell freezes over.
Steps to reproduce:
- Upgrade Xquartz
- load loon library and get ready for fun
- R hangs indefinitely during the load, giving the following message:
library(loon)
Loading required package: tcltk
xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun
Note that it worked just fine before the upgrade - nothing hung, and everything ran beautifully.
A suggestion I found was to install Xcode toolkit, which I did. Then I restarted everything and tried again. I no longer get the error message, but RStudio still hangs indefinitely, which means I still can't use this fabulous package. I wish I'd never upgraded XQuartz!
Resolved by re-installing Xquartz and doing a clean reboot. Now it works. But what a strange error.
Sorry, was preparing classes for end of term ... so didn't read this until today.
Glad you got everything resolved. ... I work on a Mac too so have had the frustration of updating Xcode, XQuartz etc. So I feel your pain :-)
If you are a ggplot fan, you might try loon.ggplot too.
Should be new releases of both before the end of the month on CRAN.
