I'm not sure if this is the right target to which to direct this post,
but I couldn't think of anything more appropriate.
I just downloaded the Hmisc package to the Imac that I use. When I
attempted
to load it I got an error to the effect that it could not load the
library:
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.5/Resources/lib/
libgfortran.2.dylib
Note the ``2.5'' in the foregoing path name; I am currently running
2.6.0, and
I suspect that this is the problem --- i.e. the Mac binary on CRAN
was built
under 2.5.x and this does not work with 2.6.y.
I note that the source and Windoze Hmisc packages are designated as
3.4-3, but
the Mac package is designated as 3.4-2 which would appear to imply
that it's
a step behind.
Could the Mac binary be updated please? Thanks.
cheers,
Rolf Turner

It is highly likely that you're using custom lib path which contains old packages from your previous R version (see .libPaths). Please make sure you either use the default setup or if using custom setup you clean up your old packages (of install new ones in the right place).> I am currently running 2.6.0, and I suspect that this is the > problem --- i.e. the Mac binary on CRAN was built under 2.5.x and > this does not work with 2.6.y. >Hmisc binary for R 2.5.x was built under R 2.5.1. Hmisc binary for R 2.6.0 was built under 2.6.0 - that's why there are separate directories for each R version.> I note that the source and Windoze Hmisc packages are designated > as 3.4-3, but the Mac package is designated as 3.4-2 which would > appear to imply that it's a step behind. >I'm not quite sure I follow you, > available.packages()["Hmisc",] Package "Hmisc" Version "3.4-3" [...] Repository "http://www.stathy.com/cran/bin/macosx/universal/contrib/2.6" Cheers, Simon

But this morning it appears to have been updated to 3.4-3 and that does work. So all is well.
