Dear List, I want to install R.2.11 for Mac while keeping my previous versions (R.2.9 is the most recent.). I am running Mac OS X 10.5.8. On the installer the following note appears: Note: By default the installer upgrades previous Leopard build of R if present. If you want to keep the previous Leopard build, use pkgutil --forget org.r-project.R.Leopard.fw.pkg Here is what happens when I try the command [richard-friedmans-computer:/usr/sbin] friedman% ./pkgutil --forget org.r-project.R.Leopard.fw.pkg No receipt for 'org.r-project.R.Leopard.fw.pkg' found at '/'. In the past I used to remove R-Framework.pkg from Library/Receipts but I am not sure that this will work this time. Thanks and best wishes, Rich ------------------------------------------------------------ Richard A.

I means that you did not install any previous version of the R framework for Leopard so there is nothing to forget. If you want to make 100% sure that there are no other receipts, check your list of packages with something like pkgutil --pkgs | grep -i r-project
In the past I used to remove R-Framework.pkg from Library/Receipts but I am not sure that this will work this time.
OS X 10.5 and higher no longer use Library/Receipts for native (flat) packages - but they might for legacy packages so if your package is way old, check there. However, the currently distributed R is Leopard build and a flat package, so it should be irrelevant given the message above. Cheers, Simon
