Hi everyone, When I tried to install RcppOctave package I got the following.> install.packages("RcppOctave")--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- package ?RcppOctave? is available as a source package but not as a binary Warning message: package ?RcppOctave? is not available (for R version 3.1.2) I see the RcppOctave_0.14.5.tar.gz file on CRAN here, http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RcppOctave/index.html I have not compiled any packages from source, I need to run brew doctor to fix problems in homebrew before compiling. I just wanted to make sure the tar.gz file is good to go before I fix homebrew. Thanks, Mike [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

(I am not surprised because I don?t have Octave installed.) There are further comments and instructions about installing octave. The instructions to install octave may alter the locations or symlinks for gfortran which might create problems for installing R packages from source, since the directory locations for brew installs are different than those that R expects. You might want to post the question on R-SIG-Mac. ?

Hi David, Thanks for the detail information. I think I will probably work in Octave instead, and fix the problem when I have a little more time.
