How to revert back to R 2.11

Hi Steven,

Are you still having problems?

I'd be surprised if R-2.12 itself has anything to do with the problems
you're seeing, but assuming 2.11 is still on your system, you can
switch to it easily by using Rswitch, that you can find here:

http://r.research.att.com/#other

It assumes 2.11 was installed via the normal R installers, ie. it lives in:

/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.11

A few Q's for you:

(1) Did you reinstall your R libraries for 2.12 from scratch (good
idea) , or did you copy them over from your 2.11 install (bad idea)

(2) Are you using R from R.app or from the terminal?

(2a) When you run are from the Terminal, does it still exhibit this behavior?
(2b) How about if you start R with the --vanilla flag?, eg:

$ R --vanilla

If you want to completely uninstall R 2.12 and start from scratch, you
can do that from the terminal, too:

$ sudo rm -Rf /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.12

Hope that helps,
-steve

btw - I don't think "MAC" needs to be capitalized ... it's not an acronym ;-)

I recently noticed that R was having memory "race" condition on my MAC. At
start up it would race to 1.3GB of memory used. Just on start up. For no
apparent reason. Then it would release memory and fall back down to 50-60MB.
Upon opening any window to edit old files or
start a new one, the race would come back. programs that used to execute in
short periods would take forever. Often not completing after hours.

So:

1. did did a MAC system update ( Leopard)
2. installed R 2.12
3. X11 gets clobbered so I had to reinstall that.
4. RGDAL had to be reinstalled but I was able to make that work after some
time.

Now raster programs that worked an hour ago are broken and I found out that
ncdf is not available yet.

What's the simplest way to revert to R 2.11 ?and diagnose the memory race I
seem to be having.

 Great. My other issue is that a library I depend on "ncdf" worked  
under
R.2.11 but it's absent  now and it looks like the upgrade to that  
package
isnt on cran for the Mac anymore.

Bottom of the CRAM Packages page has link to the Archives:

Dear all,

Is there a way to get errors (especially) and comments pretty printed in the GUI?

Often pasting a chunk of code, an error can go unseen, and it would be nice if the console could pretty print them as does the editor?

Thanks!,

PS: Second, if anyone wants to implement a filter box in the history panel (i.e., the user can type in some text (ideally regex) and the list is filtered to display only elements that match the typing), I offer a ?75 reward :-)
