When using install.packages in R on Mac OS X, packages that require gfortran throws an error (Example below from installation of OpenMx package): Loading required package: OpenMx Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : unable to load shared library '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/OpenMx/libs/i386/OpenMx.so': dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/OpenMx/libs/i386/OpenMx.so, 6): Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/OpenMx/libs/i386/OpenMx.so Reason: image not found libgfortran.2.dylib does exist, but in /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.10/Resouces/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib (or /2.9/, depending on version installed). A workaround at present involves creating a symbolic link from the above file to /usr/local/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib, however this requires sudo access and is confusing for novice users. There is more discussion of this bug as it relates to OpenMx at: http://openmx.psyc.virginia.edu/thread/316 Posts on other forums indicate a similar issue with other packages including vegan and lme4: http://r-forge.r-project.org/forum/forum.php?thread_id=728&forum_id=194 https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-mac/2009-May/006210.html ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
