is attached.<br>
<br>
Hopefully this can help with the problem.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi,
I recently tried to re-install R 2.6.2.dmg from R 2.5 similar to
Brendan below. I also got an installer error associated with tcl/tk. I
removed R and all the associate receipts (including for tcl) and tried
to reinstall, but got the same error.
As you suggested to Brendan, I have looked in /usr/local and
/usr/local/lib. I get the following error with trying to cd to
/usr/local/lib:
-bash: cd: lib: Too many levels of symbolic links
I know that system did not have this problem before I tried to reinstall
R.
But I have not idea how to figure out where the symbolic loop is,
especially if I can't even open the directory.
Can you please help.
Thanks,
Shelah

<pre wrap="">Brendan,
you have likely an infinite softlink in /usr/local. Please verify that
your /usr/local and /usr/local/lib is in order. If the error still
persists, please send us the installer log from the failed installation.
Cheers,
Simon
PS: Please don't set high-priority flags on your emails, it's
superfluous and considered rude by some.
