Hello,

Could you try again using the "dev-current" branch on GitHub? You'll find the installation instructions on this page: https://github.com/dcomtois/summarytools/tree/dev-current

Hope this helps, let me know pls! Thx

Hi,

What happens if you don't use options(device = "X11")?

Hi. I have the same error without options(device="X11"), sometimes RStudio can't resize the plot window and i need open in external view. My OS is: Operating System: CentOS Linux 7 (Core) CPE OS Name: cpe:/o:centos:centos:7 Kernel: Linux 3.10.0-957.27.2.el7.x86_64 Architecture: x86-64

Hello,

Just to make sure, have you installed 'ImageMagick-c++-devel' as explained on the main summarytools GitHub page? If you did so and still have the problem, there is a branch you could try which deals a bit differently with checks on device capabilities. After uninstalling your current summarytools version, pls try:

devtools::install_github("dcomtois/summarytools", ref = "dev-no-x11-check")

... and let me know if it helps. Thx.

Hi. I installed the summarytools 0.8.8 and the function dfsummary works !!! the problem is in the versions 0.9.x

I'm working on a solution... will keep you posted.

If you could try re-installing this version, I believe it could work:

devtools::install_github("dcomtois/summarytools", ref = "dev-current")

Pls let me know how it goes... Thx!

Hi, no I have the same crash

Hmm this is a tough one... Tried installing Cent OS 7 (Gnome) on a VM but it's very unstable... Most likely the issue lies outside of our reach (something having to do with the OS + Magick). I tried googling "centos 7 magick segmentation fault" and saw several forum threads that could be helpful.

Hi, just doing a round of cleanup on older issues, is the problem still present?
