Error loading libraries in MAC

I have received a number of reports of problems with recent unversal  
Mac packages from CRAN when used with R 2.4.1.  Has something in the  
build script changed?

I'll chime in to note the same.  And just to add, sometimes restarting R seems 
to alleviate the problem....

HI Mayte & Gregory,

This is probably a question needing to be posted to r-sig-mac. A
search for this problem on that forum turns up lots of hits. I think
everyone is having these problems (which makes me pause about whether
to switch to Mac, given how much I use R). Below is a message from the
r-sig-mac forum from R/Mac guru Simon Urbanek:

Yes, indeed, R 2.5.0 doesn't need the 4.0.3 compilers anymore and
thus no path changes. Unfortunately this seems to have influenced the
2.4 builds process. A hot fix is to install gcc4.0.3 from the full
image of R 2.4.1 (open the installation image, click on "Packages"
and then "gcc4.0.3" to install) or to use R 2.5.0 RC instead. I'll
see if I can find the culprit in the meantime...

Sorry about that - it shouldn't make you pause as it was just a  
glitch in my build script because we changed compilers for the  
upcoming R 2.5.0 release.

It's all fixed now, the updated packages are on the master machine  
and should spread through the mirrors as we speak. (For those  
impatient, you can use http://r.research.att.com as a mirror to get  
the updated packages right now).

Cheers,
Simon

read it and post there if you have problems. I usually try to respond  
ASAP.
