R.app installer probs on Snow Leopard

4 messages · Walter Ludwick, Peter Dalgaard, David Winsemius

#
Have tried to install R.app several times (6, in fact: versions 2.12, 13 & 14, both 32 and 64 bit versions), using packages freshly downloaded from the official project page, and failed every time, given exception reports such as the following (appended below, the 2 reports arising out of my 1st & 6th attempts). 

Machine & software version specifics are all contained therein. 

What am i missing, i wonder? Any clues would be most appreciated -thanx!   /w

What did you do to install? For a plain install, just get

http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/R-2.13.1.pkg

open it and follow the instructions.


If you tried to install the 

http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/Mac-GUI-1.41.tar.gz

then I suspect that you missed the point, that R.app is something you install _on_ _top_ _of_ an installation of R itself.

  
    
#
Did you install R first? R.app is just a GUI around the actual R code  
that could run without any assistance in a terminal session. Generally  
one installs both R and R.app from the "super-bundle". Since you  
provided no details of which .pkg files were chosen we are left  
guessing.

(And this is really supposed to be posted to the MAC-SIG list, anyway.)

Names? Links?
And that means what? The ATT page?  or the CRAN page?
We don't know because so many details are still, .... missing.

Thanks, Peter and David, for the pointers -and my apologies to the list for posting to the wrong place; i will in future use the SIG-Mac list for such things.

To the problem: Yes, i did indeed make that fundamental error of taking the R.app GUI package to be all i needed to run the program.  I gathered this, and downloaded all versions of that package from http://r.research.att.com/  (which is obviously no "official" download page, tho i took it as such, linked as it was from www.r-project.org at a high level).

So now: i did a plain install of the R-2.13.1 package using link that Peter provided below, and that seems to be working just fine. Thanks again, Peter!   /w
