Hi Jean, We'll need some more information about what you did and how you went about doing it. Firstly, did you use the CRAN R installer or did you do something "unofficial" like homebrew? Second, can you launch R from the Terminal? [1] If so, it's likely a GUI problem and not a problem with R itself. Thirdly, don't panic. If you saved your scripts in a reasonable place (e.g., anything under your home directory) the R installer shouldn't have touched it. Cheers, Michael [1] If you don't know how to do this, click the "Applications" stack in your dock. Then utilities. Then Terminal. A window (likely white with black font) will appear; type "R" (no quotes) into it and hit enter. _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Mac mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
