Not exactly. bass$ ls -l /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/1.9.0/Resources/library/ total 8 drwxr-xr-x 14 root admin 476 13 Feb 10:28 KernSmooth drwxr-xr-x 18 root admin 612 13 Feb 10:28 MASS -rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 608 13 Feb 10:28 R.css drwxr--r-- 14 root admin 476 13 Feb 10:28 base drwxr-xr-x 14 root admin 476 13 Feb 10:28 boot drwxr-xr-x 15 root admin 510 13 Feb 10:28 class drwxr-xr-x 15 root admin 510 13 Feb 10:28 cluster drwxr--r-- 4 root admin 136 13 Feb 10:28 ctest drwxr--r-- 4 root admin 136 13 Feb 10:28 eda drwxr-xr-x 14 root admin 476 13 Feb 10:28 foreign It seems that the permissions for the base packages are wrong but ok for the recommended packages. Fixing the permissions does fix the problem. The question left is why the permissions are different? Thanks for the help!
