A slightly modified R.dmg image is now available from CRAN (main AT
mirror now, others should follow as the changes propagate). To clarify
what happened here is the history of the R.dmg images of R-1.9.1 so
far:
1) first release - ca. 20MB (2004/06/26), installer same as in R 1.9.0
contained R-1.9.1.pkg, libxml2.pkg and a ReadMe file
both R.app and framework were packed in one package; some problems
because it changed rights of the Applications folder and could case
problems on non-standard systems
2) second release - ca. 40MB (2004/06/29)
new installer, but contained both the package sources and the actual
packages. libxml2 was marked as "required" which caused problems on
Panther (use "sudo rm -f /usr/local/lib/libxml2*" on Panther if you
installed it)
3) third, now current release - ca. 20MB (2004/07/03)
new installer (the image contains R.mpkg meta-package and a folder
Packages) - double-click on R.mpkg to install
allows custom installation of all three parts (you can click on
"customize" after selecting target volume - the choices are R.app,
Framework and libxml2). limxml2 is not selected by default, so it works
fine on Panther.
Those having problems with earlier versions, please try the latest
installer and report any failures. If you have problems *installing* R,
please don't forget to include the installer log in your report
(File->Show Log)!
