Go to a CRAN mirror, such as http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/, click on the Manuals link at the left, download the R Reference Index (a pdf), find the man page for the quantile function (in the stats package), and I think you'll have what you're looking for. Or install the binary distribution for Mac OS X from CRAN and use the help from there. If your Mac OS is too old for the current CRAN, older versions can be found at CRAN.

Re: [Fink-users] r-base install problem
On 16/1/2008 3:42 AM, Alexander Hansen at [EMAIL PROTECTED] spake thus: 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 I tried more or less that a while back by creating a symlink to sw/Library/Frameworks/R.framework in /Library/Frameworks. That seemed to work fine for most things, but I eventually ran into some really weird problems (which I can't remember the details of, sorry) that stopped me in my tracks. I ended up removing the fink version and just installing the full R.pkg and it all worked fine after that. -- Nigel Stanger, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Dunedin, NEW ZEALAND.Fnord.

If one needs to ask people to download a part of the precompiled R distribution, then why have a Fink package in the first place? On the other hand, the sources for the R.app do exist somewhere, and it should be possible (and a rather trivial task compared with the compilation of the whole thing) for the Fink package to build the app bundle with the right library names, too. -- Martin - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
