I'm using R version 2.13.0 (2011-04-13) on Mac OS X and I get the following error message with library(arules):
Well somehow you used a version of arules built for R 2.14.0. Try the build for R 2.13.x. And please note that R-sig-mac is the list for Mac-specific questions (which this is: only on Mac OS X are package build locked to a specific version of R).

I'm really relunctant to update R as its Package Installer is blocked somehow by our Firewall and updating all the packages I use is a major hassle. Thank you (as always!) Thomas PS on a related note, are the package installer port settings available somewhere and I'll send them to IT, ask them to unblock it?
What exactly do you mean by 'package installer'? There is not really any such thing. Inside R, install.packages() just uses http, and R.app's menus (if that is what you mean: R.app is not R, BTW) just use install.packages(). I think you need to talk to your IT people and get them to solve their problem (and it is their problem, not ours).
