Binary packages on CRAN

Follow up:
This message did mean trouble, as installation was incomplete.
Downloading the source package and installing from local files did 
not
work either. I think I have not installed the Developer's CD on this
old Mac. I'm not sure I'd be able to in the short term since I'm on
sabbatical and did not bring all my CD's with me.

Sincerely,

Denis Chabot

The developer tools can be download from http://connect.apple.com/  It
does require a free registration and the December 2002 Tools (which
work under 10.2, XCode does not) are a 301.2MB download when you click
on "Download Software" and then "Developer Tools" and scroll to the
bottom of the page.

Good luck,

Paul

Thank you Paul.

I did find my Developer's CD and installed it. I could not install
Hmisc. I noticed that when installing the developper's cd, many items
were "updates". Maybe this CD only works if you still have the
developer's stuff from OS X 10.1? I downloaded from the link you have
given, and this appears to duplicate what I had on CD. I decided to
install it anyway, and again I noticed that most items were "updates".
After installation was finished, I launched R and tried to install
Hmisc from source on CRAN. I got the same message as before:

Warning message:
Installation of package Hmisc had non-zero exit status in:
install.packages(ui.pkgs, CRAN = getOption(where), contriburl =
contriburl,

So maybe I don't have everything that is required on my HD, because not
much "compiling" was done: the Hmisc folder has only 3 items
(DESCRIPTION, libs (empty folder) and Meta (folder containing only
package.rds). The version compiled on my iMac running Panther has a lot
more, 8 folders plus 3 items (CONTENTS, INDEX and DESCRIPTION).
Unfortunately, that version does not work under Jaguar on my PB.

So I'm stuck, I guess I'll go home to produce my summary statistics on
my iMac :-)

Denis
