Hi All, I just installed the new R-2.2.0 form the dmg on CRAN, after trashing the previous R.app and the R.Framework. I already have g77 and a tcl/tk from a previous R installation (R 2.1.1). Should I remove them (how?) and reinstall the fresh ones or it's unecessary? Cheers, Federico -- Federico C. F.

It's unnecessary, because both tcl/tk and g77 are identical to those in R 2.1.1. In general, it is always safe to re-install, because the installer will take care of proper updating where necessary. Cheers, Simon

how would I uninstall the previous tcl/tk and g77 though (assuming it's necessary)? Federico

There is no Apple way to uninstall packages. In theory the list of files is in the receipt, but Apple provides no uninstaller. And as I was saying earlier, it's not necessary, because the installer knows how to upgrade a package - it just doesn't know how to uninstall them. If you want to uninstall tck/tk g77 and friends, just run sudo rm -rf /usr/local ;) Cheers, Simon

I think I will simply upgrade... Cheers, Fede
