Hi I have recently (some days ago) started working on a Mac, and have a few "problems" to report: So far I have been running R.app under Tiger as well as using R from within Emacs 1) In the "Preferences/Startup" menu, there is a spelling mistake: the option "Add $HOME/R/Library" should be "Add $HOME/Library/R" (I guess).
right,
2) I tried installing Bioconductor binaries using the package menu. I can easily install binaries from CRAN. When I pick "bioconductor (binaries)" I can retrieve a list of packages from the mirror I am using, but when I click on an individal package and choose "Install selected", nothing happens. The console output is below. It seems to simply retieve the package list and nothing else. The fact that this happens only when I do Bioconductor and not CRAN seems to indicate that it is a Mac issue? I have installed the packages through other means, this is simply a user-report.
it's a bug. Use "Specify location" with http://www.bioconductor.org as URL, and specify the "binary format". Then it should work.
3) Could it be that R does not read environment variables when started on the terminal. On the terminal as well as using ESS (Emacs) I can not get .libPaths() to include /Users/kdh/Library/R despite the fact that I have exported it from ~/.profile and the variable is set (output below). I have also tried using ~/.Renviron How do people solve the last issue: that of adding the user-dependent library, when using ESS/terminal. The questions might be a bit basic, but still...
