Hi, I'm trying to confirm I understand how packages are installed and manage in R to be able to better interpret error/warning messages. In a Mac OS X installation of R I get this error:
require(XML)
Loading required package: XML Failed with error: ?package ?XML? is not installed for 'arch=x86_64'? But the graphical interface R Package Installer says that version 3.9-4 is installed.
It is installed, but only for 32-bit and you are trying to load it in 64-bit R.
Please, where am I wrong?
Use 32-bit R or if you want to use XML in 64-bit R, you have to compile it for 64-bit. AFAICS XML currently doesn't pass checks on any platform, so there are no binaries and you have to compile it from sources. If you want both 32-bit and 64-bit > you'll have to use --merge-multiarch INSTALL option or use the two-step process described in the Mac FAQ. Cheers, Simon
Following other replies to this thread this is what I get here after installing from the command line without switches the XML binary available at CRAN... Package: XML Version: 3.9-4 ReleaseDate: 2012/01/30 ... Repository: CRAN Date/Publication: 2012-01-31 07:37:18 Built: R 2.15.0; universal-apple-darwin9.8.0; 2012-03-31 00:12:17 UTC; unix Archs: i386, ppc, x86_64 So, it seems that i386 and x86_64 are available by installing that binary. Please, what am I misunderstanding here? Thanks for your help! Ricardo
Thanks!
