Hello: I tried to install the latest R2.6.1 on my Mac OS X machines. I have no problems installing it on my Mac OS X Tigr machine. But when I tried to install it on other Mac OS X 10.4.9 PowerPCs, I could not have the GNU Fortran and/or Tcl/Tk libraries installed. I always got the error message : There were errors installing the software, please try installing again. Does somebody have any idea what was going wrong? I had X11 installed on the machines, do I need to install other softwares before installing R? Thanks! -Shelley

Hi Roy: Thank you for your quick response! I checked the softlink and I did see: /usr/local/ -> /private/var/automount/usr/local From the post I read: "I'm not quite sure what to do with this". What does it mean? It means there is no way to install the Tcl/Tk libraries on my powerPCs? I want to use it. -Shelley

Look to see if you have a link in /usr/local that links /usr/local/ib to "/usr/local/lib 1". it is that which is causing the problems. In the link below, Simon gives 2 commands that remove the link and renames the library location. Then the install works. -Roy

Hi Roy: I don't know where Simon found the "/usr/local/lib 1". I checked everywhere but could not find it. There is a softlink links "/usr/ bin/ to "/private/var/automount/usr/local", but no softlink links "/ usr/bin/local" to other place. ########### lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 27 Dec 3 12:18 local -> /automount/ static/usr/local drwxr-xr-x 2 swlocal lab 68 Jan 16 2004 lib ########### -Shelley
