[R-SIG-Mac] JGR on Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)

[Simon Urbanek]

To answer all those recent posts on both mailing lists regarding JGR  
on OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard):

You need 64-bit R to run JGR, because Apple has removed 32-bit Java  
from OS X 10.6. So follow those steps:

1) Install 64-bit R from http://r.research.att.com/
   option a) install R 2.9.0 package (but choose to NOT install  
gfortran)
   option b) unpack the leopard tar ball for R 2.9.2 and get the GUI  
from
   http://r.research.att.com/R-GUI-5473-2.9-leopard-Leopard64.dmg
   (in fact you can do both if you wish... ;))

2) install necessary packages as follows:
install.packages(c("rJava","JavaGD","iplots"))
install.packages("JGR",type="mac.binary")

3) download 64-bit JGR launcher from
http://urbanek.info/JGR-1.6-SL.dmg

Run the launcher and enjoy.

If you want to use JGR 1.7 from RForge.net, you have to install the  
packages from sources (when building JGR you must set NOAWT=1).
If you are using your own build of R, you must build everything from  
sources yourself.

Cheers,
