I was having issues installing the latest version of ' raster'  from CRAN.
The behavior was that the repository showed a version 1.4-10 available. So I
installed it using the GUI installer. In installed properly as 1.4-10.

Then I switched to the package manager to load the package. The GUI for the
manager had two instances of 'raster'. When previewed the documentation file
indicated raster 1.4.7.

I Loaded the package and  sessionInfo() had package 1.4-7 loaded.

Figuring I might have screwed something up. I did the following.

1. Updated my system for the latest System patches.
   10.5.8  Build 9L31a

2. Remove R from ..Library/Frameworks/R.Framework

3. Remove R.app both the 64bit and 32 bit.

4  Remove all raster components ( builds from Forge that the developer and I
were testing) basically all the tar files.

5. I still have GDal, and Proj, and Geos Installed.

6. Download R and GUI  Fresh from Cran

With No contributed packages loaded, I open the GUI  Installer:

The column that reflects the "installed version" has entries for packages
That I had previously installed, But have not installed
with this fresh and clean R install. ( XML, uncompress, survival,spatial,
sp,raster 1.4-7.....)

When I install raster using the GUI I get this

When I check the HTML subfolder in raster I find this file

00Index.html


This is the file that should be displayed when you select a package in the
package MANAGER GUI.

This file is CORRECT. Index for raster 1.4.10.


So, I have to conclude that some resources are left hanging around after I
uninstalled R. For some reason.


Am I missing something? and how do I get raster 1.4.10 to load and why is
1.4.7 left hanging around after I uninstalled R and all packages
