(moving to the proper mailing list: R-SIG-Mac - this is not a bug so far!) James, this look like your internet access is stalling R -- it's not really R freezing but your internet. Try using a different mirror and/or check your internet connection. Cheers, Simon

Full_Name: James Howison Version: 2.9.2 OS: Mac OS X 10.5.8 Submission from: (NULL) (128.2.222.163) For quite a while now I have been unable to use Package Manager to install programs. I get the spinning wheel and long lock ups. This happens when I hit, "get list", but that eventually returns, seemingly successfully. However it also happens when I try to install a package, the whole application locks up. I don't see anything in a log file; I took a sample using Activity Manager and the report after a force quit (which I didn't "send to apple") I'm able to build packages fine using install.packages and CMD INSTALL This behavior continued with a fresh R install (Oct 13, 2009)
