This issue points out why it's a pain to try to have anything integrate with non-Fink 3rd-party stuff--they like to change things around, and we have to figure out how to adjust our packages accordingly. In this case it looks like you're also going to need to do something like sudo install_name_tool /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.6/Resources/lib/libR.dylib \ /sw/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.6/Resources/lib/libR.dylib /Applications/R.app/Contents/MacOS/./R See if that works--if so then we'll update the docs accordingly. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHjMZYB8UpO3rKjQ8RAsOyAJ4mOp3qsQPCrdSiqJ6uvwpF8clrzACeIW6+ vMoJ9/TpZqQ909pVb5HKJGE= =wqJV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
