Neely, as Duncan was saying R-SIG-Mac is a better place to discuss it.

This happens most often if you install libraries in your home directory. On OS X it's usually much safer to use system- wide packages, because that prevents cross-version problems, version- confusion and the GUI allows you to re-install them automatically. That doesn't work for your local packages in home. Cheers, Simon *) - for completeness, you also get this error if you install a binary that was not built for the universal R or if the ppc architecture build failed. However, neither should not happen with CRAN binaries. ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
