I want to achieve a COMPLETE UNINSTALL of R from my Mac OSX system in
order to start fresh.

I cannot seem to find ALL the files to delete from my iMac in order to
avoid seeing "UPDATE" when I try to install a completely fresh copy of R
2.4.0 Universal for Mac OS X.

 

I have a new iMac 24" Core2Duo, 2GB RAM, 500GB HD

I migrated my prior iMac OSX files & software from prior iMac machine at
first bootup of the new iMac. I had version 2.3.1 installed and tried to
delete every reference and folder to it including:

 

R.app in the Applications folder

/Library/Frameworks

/Library/Receipts

/Library/Caches

and even:

/Library/Preferences

 

but still, when I started the install of R 2.4.0 I got the message
"Update" .

So what on earth in Mac OS X is retaining information on any prior
install?

 

Could one of the R for Mac OS X developers check the actual Install
Script Code to see what is referenced in order for it to display to the
user the message that it is "Updating" an install rather than starting a
brand new one?

 

Thanks
