R.framework installation package suggestions

2 messages · John Purnell, Simon Urbanek

Having recently installed the the binary OS X R.framework package I
have 2 suggestions:

1. Symlinks are created for both ../Resources/man1/R.1 and Rscript.1
in the /usr/local/man/man1 directory.
2. The 2 symlinks R and Rscript which are created in /usr/bin rather
be created in /usr/local/bin if the directory exists.

Thanks
John

/usr/local/bin is by default *not* on PATH so for all regular Mac  
users both of the above is useless. If you are managing your own /usr/ 
local then there is nothing preventing you from creating the synlinks  
to /usr/bin (not that I understand why you would want that but that's  
another story ...). However, from your comment I gather it may be  
worthwhile to symlink the man pages to /usr/share/man ...

Thanks,
