[R-SIG-Mac] Problem running TOBIT for R 3.2 at SPSS 24 Interface MAC Sierra 10.12.1

[Simon Urbanek]

Andreas,

since this is a SPSS issue please contact their support. From the errors it seems you didn't install all necessary packages (it tells you that you din't install pbkrtest), but since we don't know what SPSS requires you'll have to take it up with them.

Cheers,
Simon

I installed the correct R version 3.2 and also XQuartz but if I try to execute the TOBIT regression (I can choose it in my SPSS menu now) I get constantly dialogues showing that certain packages would be missing (CAR, AED etc.). (Pic 1). Apparently, those packages have been added later to R (higher r version than the one mandated by my spss 24 version). I downloaded the versions R 3.2.5 that is referred to in the first picture but once I try installing it, I get displayed another error message by SPSS that the version of R was incorrect. Also manually installing the AER package on R 3.2. did not work for me because I do not know where to find and executable file within the AER package. (Pic 3)
