R on X

Martin

gifi does not have anonymous ftp any more, so yes, the CRAN link  
should be changed to
http://gifi.stat.ucla.edu/pub

the binaries you have must be decompressed in /usr/local/lib, so

sudo mv R-1.6.1.tar.gz /usr/local/lib
sudo tar zxvf R-1.6.1.tar,gz

then make a symbolic link

sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/R/bin/R /usr/local/bin/R

i'll upload an updated set today which must be unpacked in the root
directory, i.e. in /

Hi Jan,

I just found your compiled version of R-1.6.1 on your website. All I  
could find on CRAN is a link to ftp://gifi.stat.ucla.edu/pub/  - I  
tried several times but coudln't access this site (could not set  
public privileges). Maybe you could update the link on CRAN or get  
the ftp server fixed? It would help people after me - thank you.  
(first I tried to build R from source with g77 but got an error  
'no-segfault.R' ...kCGErrorIllegalArgument : initCGDisplayState:  
cannot map display interlocks.)

I'm not very familiar with Unix (yet?) - how do I install the  
binaries once they are downloaded and decompressed? The R manual  
states that there are platform-specific methods.

Thank you for all your work for the Mac community,

	Martin
