Hi,
Thanks for developing an outstanding software for free. I admire all your
effort greatly. I would like to submit a bug report on the R-1.5.1
installer (in .mpkg, .pkg format) for Mac OS X.
I'm using fink in conjunction with Darwin. In my environment, /usr/local is
symbolically linked to /sw which is fink's main directory. This is to
conform the directory structure on my machine to the standard UNIX/Linux
one.
It turned out that R-1.5.1 installer ignores the symbolic link and creates
new /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/lib directories on their own, thereby
installing all its stuff into them. This is really annoying. (Actually,
after installing R, bash stopped running. At first, I couldn't figure out
at all what happened. It turned out that bash failed to runs because it
lost access dynamic libraries in /usr/local/lib directory.)
I hope the installer properly follows symbolic links during installation.
Cheers,
Kow
