Hello all, R just ''stopped working'' on my machine (ibook g4, os 10.3.9). between last time I used it and now, I did not do anything but check emails and browse the internet. when I try to start the GUI, it appears and disappears as rapidly. when I tried to run a session from the terminal, I got the following: mkdir: /tmp/Rtmp590-29493: Permission denied mkdir: /tmp/Rtmp590: Permission denied ERROR: cannot create temporary R session directory If I log as root, I can start a session from the terminal, so I figured that somewhere file permissions got corrupted. therefore, I re-installed R (I tried 2.1.1 and 2.2.0), but same result: I can't start a session. The install itself runs fine, though.
Does anyone know what is going on? Where can I re-establish my ''rights'' to use R ??? My R.app file is defined as drwxrwxr-x. I did not see any mention of a similar problem in the archives. Thank you in advance for your insights! eric Eric Pante --------------------------------------------------------------- Graduate Student in Marine Biology Grice Marine Laboratory 205 Fort Johnson Road, Charleston SC 29412 --------------------------------------------------------------- "On ne force pas la curiosite, on l'eveille ..."
