Subject: Binary packages on CRAN
In-Reply-To: <200501071107.j07B7Kq9021791@hypatia.math.ethz.ch>
Hi,
How is it decided what packages are offered as binaries for Mac and
what other packages are only offered as source? Is it by "popular
demand"? If so, I suggest adding Hmisc to the binaries for Mac OS X. I
tend to go see those first when trying to find which packages might be
of use to me. Hence I did not discover this package until someone
recommended it to me. It seems quite useful and maybe others would use
it to.
Anyway, I installed it on an iMac running Panther and got a warning at
the end of the installation, something about chmod not being allowed.
It seems to work though.
I just installed it on my PB running Jaguar and got this:
Warning message:
Installation of package Hmisc had non-zero exit status in:
install.packages(ui.pkgs, CRAN = getOption(where), contriburl =
contriburl,
Should I be worried?
Thanks,
Denis
