Full_Name: Peter Wickham Version: 2.4.1 OS: Mac 10.4.10 Submission from: (NULL) (209.59.87.136) Attempted to load "gdata" and "gregmisc" packages after using installing via Package Installer in R. Both load attempts resulted in the following message: "Error in loadNamespace(i[[1]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths())) : there is no package called 'gtools'". There is no mention of failure in the Mac OSX check summary for packages. Another package "waveslim" installed and loaded properly (apart from the R topic "AR1").
Either use the installer to download gtools etc or check the Install Dependencies box and they will all be automatically downloaded.
I might also mention that I am still using R 2.4.1 tather than R 2.5.1 as I received warning messages in red R[244] and R[451] "tossing reply message sequence 1 on" when downloading the latest version of R.
This isn't a problem, it still works, there might be a development version where it is fixed. For Mac related problems there is a special list at https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac Check the archives for discussion of this problem. Ken
