I have not. The "standard R" install on the Mac uses a Framework. (I do not know if that is compatible with MacPorts installation practices.) Simply knowing that an R port exists would not be sufficient either. I would need to know what version and my recent experience with libiconv has shown my significant limitations in being able to access such information. I have been led to understand that MacPorts does not maintain an up-to-date version, so am not likely to go that route. -- David. >>> >>> The explicit command to move /usr/local aside could be: >>> >>> sudo mv /usr/local /usr/local-off >>> >>> And to move it back, if you insist on doing so: >>> >>> sudo mv /usr/local-off /usr/local >>> >>> We instead recommend you install any software you need using MacPorts. tcl, >>> tk, ImageMagick and sqlite3 are all available and well-maintained in >>> MacPorts. >> >> ImageMagick perhaps could be removed, but the GUI's for R are fairly >> dependent on tcl/tk. >> >> -- >> David Winsemius >> Alameda, CA, USA >> >> _______________________________________________ >> macports-users mailing list >> [email protected] >> https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users > David Winsemius Alameda, CA, USA _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
