Jane,

My sincere apologies; I don't know what I was seeing/thinking -- your original post was correct. Namely, you should download and install: http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/lang/CRAN/bin/macosx/R-3.1.2-snowleopard.pkg (although, I am use to using the main mirror http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/R-3.1.2-snowleopard.pkg) -- but that should not make a difference. The documentation does state...

R 3.1.2 binary for Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and higher, signed package. Contains R 3.1.2 framework, R.app GUI 1.65 in 64-bit for Intel Macs. The above file is an Installer package which can be installed by double-clicking. Depending on your browser, you may need to press the control key and click on this link to download the file.

So, this should be the way to go. I'm glad you double checked!!

Tom

One more quick question, regarding choosing mavericks.pkg or snowleopard.pkg.
Will mavericks work for me though I have OS X Lion 10.7.5? I thought I had to choose snowleopard but are still an unexperienced mac user and have really no idea.

Just want to dubble check before I run the installation.

Jane,

It's possible, since you are using Mac OS X Lion (10.7.5), you need the R version for that, which can be found here: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/old/R-3.1.1-mavericks.pkg

Cheers!
Tom

Hi,
I get following error when trying to update the affy package to latest
version.

Error: cannot remove prior installation of package Œaffy¹

I think it is because affy requires R 3.1.1 and I have 3.0.2

I try to find a guide how I do to upgrade from 3.0.2 to latest version on
mac, but cannot find any good description. Can anyone guide me?

Do I just download R for mac (R-3.1.2-snowleopard.pkg) from
<http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/lang/CRAN/bin/macosx/R-3.1.2-snowleopard.pkg> and
dubbelclick?

What will happen with all installed packages?
I have OS X Lion 10.7.5
Which version number is stable and reliable?

I also need a guide of how to update to latest version of  bioconductor on
mac.

Descriptions for windows is available everywhere.

/Jane
