Hello,

I'm trying to install the rtsplot library to no avail.  I tried both binary
and source, see below, please.

A version of this package for your version of R might be available

R> q()

I could not find any repository with this library version.
And tried from its source code as well.
I appreciate any suggestions how to solve it.
Since I have its source code, could I simple copy it to some folder
location under the R.Framework tree?

TIA,

Probably have better luck in the R-sig-mac mailing list. Since there have been discussions about how the newer OSX versions have been a bit troublesome it is even more important than normal that you start by reading the archives. I, like most but not all on this list,  don't have a mac... cannot help you.

As for copying the source code into a directory... that never works. you have to install, and for a source package that means you have to have already installed a compiler tool chain suitable for your OS and where you obtained your version of R from (e.g. from CRAN or homebrew or Anaconda or other.  Sounds challenging, but you shouldn't have to know how to read the source code in order to follow directions to install packages. See the R documentation.

Please remove or at least rename the file /Users/andreltr/.Rprofile
before trying again.
The package has been archived:
https://cran.r-project.org/package=rtsplot

You can install it manually from the source package (which will remain
on CRAN at https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/rtsplot). For
a short while, it will also be installable from
https://www.cranhaven.org/.

Hello Ivan,

Thanks for the message.  I'm not that expert using OSX either but I was
able to solve it using brute force.  First, I deleted the R.Framework from
the Frameworks folder and its associated R.app, R, and Rscript.  I cleaned
most of my .Rprofile file.  After this, I installed R version 4.4.1
(2024-06-14) -- "Race for Your Life".  Finally, I was able to install the
libraries.  See below, please.

R> library(curl)

I still have to test it in depth though, but I guess (and hope) everything
will work.
TIA!

Best regards,
