It's a less helpful answer than usual. You can't compile R without downloading and installing g77, and I think the binary distribution of that also wants to go somewhere that needs administrator permission. I believe, though I haven't yet tried, that the 1.9.0 setup will be better. I think you can put the R Framework in ~/Library/Frameworks and then put R.app anywhere. -thomas ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
