I can't uppgrade sources packages with the GUI because I've messages like this: ERROR: failed to lock directory '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.0.1/Resources/library' for modifying Try removing '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.0.1/Resources/library/ 00LOCK'
This means that either an installation was aborted w/o cleanup before or another installation is already running. Please note that currently it is not possible in the GUI to install/update multiple packages simultaneously if authorizing as root, because the root process is spawned independently via Security Framework which doesn't give us the child PID and thus the GUI has no way of serializing the authorized "system" calls. We are investigating ways around this problem. Installing/upgrading as an admin user w/o the need to authenticate should work (and individual installs/updates as root).
When I use R in the terminal (with sudo), I haven't this problem. I've just notice this warnings:
The entire environment is completely different in Terminal and the GUI, thus the warning is probably just trying to tell you that you're setting up invalid locales in one of your shell startup scripts. This has no effect on the GUI as it's not ran via a shell. Cheers, Simon
