Michael - thanks for the reply. So if I install my XCode C complier, 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?)
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. 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?)
Thomas

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.
