Installing a new R Package for MacOS

The Carbon version of R cannot download and install packages. You have
to install them manually, and if this involves building shared libs  
that is
a royal pain. The Darwin version uses the standard *nix tools and has no
such problems.

Hi,

I am new to using R. I am using the MacOS rm161 version on my
PowerMac G4, and having problem installing a new package msm.
Within R, I typed

options(CRAN = "http://cran.stat.ucla.edu/")

Then, I use the following functions, but keep getting errors.

install.packages("msm")

Error: couldn't find function "install.packages"

and

download.packages("msm")

Error: couldn't find function "download.packages"

Please help. Thanks!

Leo
