For MacOS we have
Binary packages, foo.tgz Source packages, foo.tar.gz
Neither are `zip files' (things created by zip, usually with extension .zip).
It looks like you have not installed a source package before, and you either do not have the development tools installed or they are not in your path.
That there is no binary version of a package available usually indicates a problem with it on MacOS X, at least on the autobuilder's version of MacOS.

Hi- I've been trying to install the hier.part package on my mac (OSX 10.3.7) and it is not working for some reason. I am downloading the package source called : hier.part_1.0.tar.gz. When I try to auto install from the cran site, I get this message: * Installing *source* package 'hier.part' ... ** libs /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/SHLIB: line 1: make: command not found
And when I try to install from the zip file on my computer, I get this message:
What precisely did you do here?
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors Error in file(file, "r") : unable to open connection In addition: Warning messages: 1: Installation of package hier.part had non-zero exit status in: install.packages(c("hier.part"), lib = "/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library", 2: tar returned non-zero exit code: 512 in: untar(pkg, tmpDir) 3: cannot open file `hier.part_1.0.tar/DESCRIPTION'
I've successfully installed other packages (e.g., vegan, cluster) so am not sure if there is something different about this one or if I’m just being dopey.
