Dear Simon For some reason I cannto install R-2.7.2 on my Mac (Mac OS 10.3.9) and I cannot find installations for R-2.7.1 either. The explanations do not help me. I need the programme for the statistic course at Uni Z?rich. Hope you can help me! Thanks a lot and best wishes Anastassia Scheidegger

unfortunately we don't support 10.3 (Panther) anymore. It is way too old (almost 5 years now) and with the introduction of Intel Macs the newer systems diverged too much such that it is not possible to use the same code on new systems and Panther. Therefore you'll have to upgrade at least to 10.4 to use R binaries (it's faster so if you have a G4 it's a good idea to do so). Alternatively you can compile R yourself (which is what Stephen is reporting about here), but R starting with 2.7 Aqua/Quartz is no longer supported on 10.3 even in the sources, so you can only use the X11 interface. Also you'll need to compile packages from sources (use type='source' in install.packages). Finally, the last R binary supporting OS X 10.3 was R-2.2.1 which is still available from CRAN. It is very old, so it will lack many new features and bugfixes.
I cannot find installations for R-2.7.1 either.
See the "old" directory on the CRAN page. Cheers, Simon

Dear Jari & Simon Thanx a lot for your very prompt answers. So if I get you correctly, there is no way to install R 2.7.2 on Mac OS 10.3.9. I'll try to uptgrade to 10.4 then, and hope that R-2.7.2 is going to work. Cheers, Anastassia 2008/9/22 Simon Urbanek <simon.urbanek at r-project.org>:

it will work, but you will have to build it from source, which took me all day yesterday. I don't know what I am doing, admittedly. It is easier to use the binaries if you can afford the upgrade. On Mon, Sep 22, 2008 at 3:54 PM, Anastassia Scheidegger
