R devel - May 2005 - R OS X

Hi,

with newest R.app (1.11) / R2.1.0a

if a package is installed for the current user, it is not installed  
properly (does not get an installed version entry and is not  
loadable). If installed system wide it works.

The package I installed is xgobi.

MAC OS X 10.4.1

Hi Volker,

Just tried this with 1 of the few packages I had not installed yet  
systemwide.

In the Startup preferences I selected to add $Home/R/Library and  
restarted R.

Then installed package its and loaded the library and ran the example.

Can you try if that sequence works for you?

A better alias for Mac questions is R-SIG-Mac.

Regards,
Rob

As Rob mentioned, you likely didn't select "Add $RHOME/R/Library"
in
Startup preferences of R.app.
I just want to add for the record that R versions before 2.1.0a  
(including 2.1.0 release in particular) featured a bug that caused ~/ 
R/library to be always in .libPaths even if R.app or the user  
disabled it (in --gui=AQUA mode).

Cheers,
Simon
