Hi, I down loaded and installed a windows binary instead of a mac package. I can't remove the windows package from my package manager, and I can't find any info. re how to do this. The mac version of the package doesn't seem to want to install over the windows version. Does anyone know how to get delete the windows version of the package from the package manager? Thanks

I wonder how you were able to install the Windows version of the package, it should not be possible ... Anyway, in order to delete a package manually, start Terminal and type the following: sudo rm -rf /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/PKG where PKG is the name of the package you want to delete. If you installed the package in you user directory instead, take the Finder and look in your home -> Library -> R -> library. You should see the package there as a folder - just delete the folder with Finder. Cheers, Simon
