ggplot2 missing dependencies: RColorBrewer, colorspace
Hi,
Could anyone here provide some more details on the issue described
below? (That is briefly, when installing ggplot2 under R --
install.packages("ggplot2", dep=T) -- one finds a couple of
dependencies missing. Apparently this is a Mac-only issue?) What would
be involved in fixing it? I'd be willing to look into it if someone
would point out where to start. Thanks!

Hi David,
It's a bizarre bug with the mac version of R - I've complained about
it before but it hasn't been fixed yet. Would you mind emailing
R-SIG-mac to complain?
Thanks,
Hadley

Hi,
I guess you may have heard about this before, but I'm looking at
ggplot2 again (and will probably try introducing it to some others
eventually after I'm on solider ground myself) and thought it was
worth a mention. install.packages("ggplot2", dep=T) seems to miss the
dependencies RColorBrewer and colorspace so that even after running
it, a call to library(ggplot2) fails with an error. For example,
running in R 2.7.1 on a MacBook running Mac OS X 10.5.2, I had the
following R session:
...
install.packages("ggplot2", dep=T)
library(ggplot2)
Loading required package: grid Loading required package: reshape Loading required package: proto Loading required package: splines Loading required package: MASS Loading required package: RColorBrewer Error: package 'RColorBrewer' could not be loaded In addition: Warning message: In library(pkg, character.only = TRUE, logical.return = TRUE, lib.loc = lib.loc) : there is no package called 'RColorBrewer'
R.version
_ platform i386-apple-darwin8.10.1 arch i386 os darwin8.10.1 system i386, darwin8.10.1 status major 2 minor 7.1 year 2008 month 06 day 23 svn rev 45970 language R version.string R version 2.7.1 (2008-06-23) Installing RColorBrewer, library(ggplot2) still fails with an error because colorspace is missing. Of course, it is not too much of a hardship to call install.packages a couple extra times, but I worry this will disconcert some of the people I'd like to introduce to ggplot2. Thanks! David
