Reminder: Please test the 2.9.0 beta/rc binaries!

I downloaded the Leopard 64 bit pkg: R-2.9-beta-48309.pkg

It installed without apparent error. I want to retain version 2.8.1  
so I checked to make sure the receipt had been deleted.

Also installed the 64 bit GUI: R-GUI-5391-2.1-leopard-Leopard64.dmg  
with produced an icon named R.app

Renamed it R_2_9 and dragged to the Applications folder. Opening it  
caused an immediate crash with this error report:

R will run as a 64 bit process from a Terminal command line.

Now when I attempt to run 2.8.1 with the old 64 bit GUI app I get an  
error:

BTW the Matrix that was installed in the library was 0.999375-23-290

My current plan is to delete r 2.9.0(beta) and attempt to get 2.8.1  
running again.

There are installers for both the Tiger (32-bit) and Leopard (32-

Reporting bugs right *after* the release is pointless - that's  
why we are providing beta and rc builds, so please test them well  
before 4/17! Post any issues you have with it here.

The 2.9 build seems to be broken as of 02:19 April 10.

There is some thing wrong on CRAN with Matrix recommended package  
for R 2.9.0 rc:

Creating links

Note that Matrix is listed twice and the links is not created,  
that's why configuration of R  fails with
configure: error: Some of the recommended packages are missing Use  
--without-recommended-packages if this was intentional

I'll assume that -24 is correct, create it manually and re-start  
the build. Kurt/Stefan, can you please have a look and fix it on  
CRAN for the next nightly build?

Thanks,
Simon
