JGR on Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
Hi Simon, I'm sorry to say that I've tried and failed to set up 64-bit R 2.9.2 and JGR. (1) It's not clear to me where on http://r.research.att.com/ to download from. (I searched for "snow", since all else assumed that I know what I'm doing.) (2) I don't understand why you say (below) to download 2.9.0 rather than 2.9.2. So could you please give step by step fool-proof instructions? (Right now, after fiddling, I can't launch R or JGR.) Thanks, Michael

To answer all those recent posts on both mailing lists regarding JGR on OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard): You need 64-bit R to run JGR, because Apple has removed 32-bit Java from OS X 10.6. So follow those steps: 1) Install 64-bit R from http://r.research.att.com/ option a) install R 2.9.0 package (but choose to NOT install gfortran) option b) unpack the leopard tar ball for R 2.9.2 and get the GUI from http://r.research.att.com/R-GUI-5473-2.9-leopard-Leopard64.dmg (in fact you can do both if you wish... ;)) 2) install necessary packages as follows: install.packages(c("rJava","JavaGD","iplots")) install.packages("JGR",type="mac.binary") 3) download 64-bit JGR launcher from http://urbanek.info/JGR-1.6-SL.dmg Run the launcher and enjoy. --- If you want to use JGR 1.7 from RForge.net, you have to install the packages from sources (when building JGR you must set NOAWT=1). If you are using your own build of R, you must build everything from sources yourself. Cheers, Simon
