Hi can anybody help me with this error (R version 2.12.1 (2010-12-16) Platform: i386-apple-darwin9.8.0/i386 (32-bit):

You could have found this out yourself, but it looks like R-Forge's Mac build environment doesn't seem to install other R-Forge packages. https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=316&log=build_mac&pkg=blotter&flavor=patched complains that FinancialInstrument isn't available, even though that same build environment builds FinancialInstrument without issue. You might try a support request to R-Forge itself, and see if they can adress the issue in the Mac build environment. Alternately, I believe that you can install .tar.gz files to R on the Mac manually, but you'd have to look up how to do that, as I don't use a Mac. Regards, - Brian
