Many thanks for the replies! A big help...
I did the rm thing and also did a Pkg.rm("Stats") so it no longer appears
at all in a status request.
Now however when I do a Pkg.update I also get an error which I have not
succeeded in figuring it out.
Below is what I get when I request a Pkg.update() - Do I need to completely
re-install the pkgs I have or some such? I would think not but... And what
does it mean by "Terminal's requirements..." (I did this from the Mac
Terminal program - the default on OSX, it seems...)
TIA again
Henry
