If you upgrade Mac OS X to the new version 10.3 and package installation in RAqua stops working, try dyld <- Sys.getenv("DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH") Sys.putenv("DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH"=paste("/usr/lib",dyld,sep=":")) If this doesn't work, or if it works and you don't have teTex or TeXShop installed I would be interested to know -thomas Thomas Lumley Assoc.
