I used R on OS X 10.3x quite some time with no serious problems. Sometimes R stopped when I tried to execute a bigger program. After updating to OS X to version 10.4 R worked but I still had the problem with bigger programs. Therefore I re-installed R on top of the existing R version. The installation finished properly but suddenly R did not work. Then I reinstalled OS X 10.4 because I thought some left over registry information from R may caused the problem. R still crashed. I hoped the problem would be overcome with the new R version 1.12. Unfortunately this is not the case. The error report (see appendix) says that Thread 0 crashed. What can I do?

Hi Heinz, Can you send me your version of: '~/Library/Preferences/org.R- project.R.plist'? Most Mac OS questions are posted/answered on R-SIG-Mac.

MacOS X does not have a registry! Configuration files for MacOS applications live in ~/Library/Preferences. The file for the R GUI app is called org.R-project.R.plist. The rest of R on a Mac is just like any other UNIX platform with settings and history in ~/.Rdata and ~/.Rhistory. (Files starting with a period '.' are invisible in the MacOS desktop.) If you want to trash the configuration just delete these three files. The version 1.12 you quote is only for the GUI, which is just a front end for the R framework. The current version of the framework binary is 2.1.1, which you will see on the 'R Console' window when you start the application. If you try the 1.12 GUI with a version of the framework other than 2.1.1 it is very likely to crash. If you install the complete package from CRAN it will install both the GUI application and the framework. BIll Northcott
