Theoretically, but I've always built packages from Terminal so I can't
promise it. Also, there's an outside chance you'll need a Fortran
compiler too, but I haven't looked at the source files to confirm.
I'd also suggest you try your CRAN mirror one more time and make sure
you are getting the 2.13 version: for instance, I used this link:
http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN/bin/macosx/leopard/contrib/2.13/arules_1.0-7.tgz'
I believe that the link shown on the CRAN page will automatically give
you the current release (2.14) build.

Michael - thanks for the reply. So if I install my XCode C complier,
You would want all of the Xcode to be installed including the Fortran
complier and other support.
then download the latest arules source file which is:
arules_1.0-7.tar.gz and then run: install.packages("/Users/thomas/
Documents/arules_1.0-7.tar.gz", repos=NULL, type="source") it will
just work? (Why will that work with the latest version but the
latest .tgz won't?)
It should succeed that way if Xocde is properly installed. Why didn't
you try that?
AND: Why are you staying with 2.13? Why not update your R version?
What I usually do to install a package is download the .tgz file,
double click to unzip it, then copy the resulting folder into
Library/Frameworks/R.Framework/Resources/Library.
That is only going to work for packages that are all-R and no C/Fortran
I could install the latest R and then do that for arules, but then
I'd have to do the same for dozens of other packages (or could I
just copy them to another folder, update R, and then copy them to
R.Framework/Resources/Library saying no to any replace file popups?)
The usual recommendation is after updating R , which creates a new
Resources folder with ./library/, to copy/paste the contents of the
2.13 ../library/ into the new one and then at the R console to execute:
update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE) # and probably also include the
ask=FALSE option
I usually forget that ask option and then have to keep typing Y<cr>.
Best;
David.

Subject: Re: [R-SIG-Mac] arules installation
You need a C compiler: the usual recommendation is XCode which you
can get off your OS X install DVD or download from Apple Developer
pages.
Out of curiosity, how did you download the first time? I can still
get 2.13.x packages from CRAN though I haven't tried with arules
specifically.

Install an arules binary that was built for your version of R

The arules CRAN page says: Depends: R (≥ 2.11.0), stats,
methods, Matrix (≥ 0.999375-38), all of which I have - anyone
know what the problem is? I'm really relunctant to update R as
its Package Installer is blocked somehow by our Firewall and
updating all the packages I use is a major hassle.
Thank you (as always!)
Thomas
PS on a related note, are the package installer port settings
available somewhere and I'll send them to IT, ask them to unblock
it?
-------------------------------------
I tried installing from source as Prof Ligges suggested (as
explained here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1474081/how-do-i-install-an-r-package-from-source)
but got the following error:
install.packages("/Users/thomas/Documents/arules_1.0-7.tar.gz",
repos=NULL, type="source")
* installing *source* package 'arules' ...
** libs
*** arch - i386
sh: make: command not found
ERROR: compilation failed for package 'arules'
* removing '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.13/

Warning message:
In install.packages("/Users/thomas/Documents/
arules_1.0-7.tar.gz", :
installation of package '/Users/thomas/Documents/
arules_1.0-7.tar.gz' had non-zero exit status
Why would installing from source make any difference? Prof Ripley
suggested I use arules for R.13.0, which I would if I could find it.
Has anyone got any advice?
Thank you,
Thomas
