Hi, I have multiple R versions installed and would like to switch between them via setting the symblic link "Current". To make this a bit more convenient, I defined two "aliases" in .bashrc:
alias R2.13='d=/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions; rm $d/Current; ln -s $d/2.13 $d/Current' alias R2.14='d=/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions; rm $d/Current; ln -s $d/2.14 $d/Current' On executing R2.13 in the terminal, I get: rm: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/Current: Permission denied ln: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/Current/2.13: Permission denied If I chown Current, I still get: rm: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/Current: Permission denied I (bad) solution is to put in "sudo" in the alias... How is it done correctly? Cheers, Marius PS: I also posted it for future reference, I've only found the idea of using ln -s on the help pages/FAQ, but not how to get around the permission issue. _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Mac mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
