Dear R-Mac people,

After successfully updating R and JGR on
Hardware Overview:

   Model Name:	Mac Pro
   Model Identifier:	MacPro1,1
   Processor Name:	Dual-Core Intel Xeon

System Software Overview:

   System Version:	Mac OS X 10.4.10 (8R2232)
   Kernel Version:	Darwin 8.10.1

I followed Ripley's advice to
 > update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE, ask=FALSE)

I then realized that I did not have any of the packages beyond the  
default. So I ran
 > install.packages 
('car','Hmisc','doBy','lme4','gmodels','gplots','gdata')
Warning in install.packages("car", "Hmisc", "doBy", "lme4",  
"gmodels", "gplots",  :
   'lib = "Hmisc"' is not writable
Would you like to create a personal library
'~/R/i386-apple-darwin8.10.1-library/2.6'
to install packages into?  (y/n) y
Error in available[, "Bundle"] : incorrect number of dimensions
 > install.packages 
('car','Hmisc','doBy','lme4','gmodels','gplots','gdata')
Warning in install.packages("car", "Hmisc", "doBy", "lme4",  
"gmodels", "gplots",  :
   'lib = "Hmisc"' is not writable
Error in install.packages("car", "Hmisc", "doBy", "lme4", "gmodels",  
"gplots",  :
   unable to install packages
