[R-SIG-Mac] RSwitch question

[Steven McKinney]

Hi all,

I installed the RSwitch app RSwitch-1.2.dmg  from http://r.research.att.com/#other
and installed R-2.13.1 R-2.13-branch-leopard.pkg  from http://r.research.att.com

Before installing R-2.13.1 I ran the "forget" command

$ sudo pkgutil --forget org.r-project.R.Leopard.fw.pkg
Password:
Forgot package 'org.r-project.R.Leopard.fw.pkg' on '/'.

then ran the installer.  R-2.13.1 starts up when I invoke R.app.

I ran the RSwitch app, selected R-2.12.1 and when I start R.app I see

Error in matrix(NA_character_, 0L, 3L) :

I am unclear as to why I am seeing R-2.13.1 after attempting to switch back to R-2.12.1.

Any one else having this issue?

Did I miss some part of setting this up appropriately?

Any info appreciated.
