Perhaps this has something to do with it...

  getOption("pkgType")
[1] "mac.binary"

whereas you have "MacBinary". But binary is the default in OS X, so why specify it at all?

Is there some reason why you need to specify both repos and contriburl in order to get ade4? A simple
   install.packages('ade4')
works for me. Indeed, I don't know of any case where a simple install.packages('packagename') has installed the wrong version for me. I've never needed to use the installWithVers option, so unless you have a specific and understood reason for using it, I'd suggest not using it.

There's no reason I can think of why Textmate would have anything to do with it; it's a text editor. I think you may have given yourself a red herring. R is in charge of package installation.

To Whom It May Concern:

I need to use various packages in R and I also want to use Textmate. Problem 1: Textmate doesn't seem to recognize the packages that are already installed on R. Problem 2:

When I execute the following command:

install.packages("ade4", repos="http:// cran.r-project.org", contriburl = contrib.url( "http:// streaming.stat.iastate.edu/CRAN/", type="MacBinary"), dependencies=TRUE, installWithVers=TRUE)

I download the package, but it is for R version 2.6 rather than the current version 2.7.1.

Is there anyway to either point R in the right direction for the packages or have R install the correct version of the packages.

Much appreciated,
