Paraphrasing it isn't very helpful. The message I get is not written in the console, it is written on top of the Package Installer window of R.app. And it is in French: Il n'est actuellement pas possible d'installer des package binaires depuis des dépôts à distance en tant qu'utilisateur root. Merci d'utiliser le binaire de R qui provient du CRAN afin d'autoriser aux administrateurs l'installation de packages au niveau système sans passer par l'utilisateur root. Sinon, vous pouvez utiliser R en ligne de commande en tant que root ou installer les packages depuis des fichiers locaux If I translate it, it says « It is presently impossible to install binary packages from repositories as user root. Thank you for using R binaries that come from CRAN so that administrators can install packages at the system level without using user root. Otherwise, you can use R on the command line as root to install packages from local files. And in the console, this appears: Avis dans install.packages(c("mclust"), lib = "/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/", : 'lib = "/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/"' ne peut être ouvert en écriture > Would you like to use a personal library instead? (y/n) so I do not have write access to lib. I am sure the tests you suggest below will confirm it, but I’ve been using R on 3 macs for many years, from an administrator account, and it never happened to me before. > > (2) Can you copy paste the output of the following command from the terminal: > > $ ls -ld /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library > > Mine looks like: > > drwxrwxr-x 56 root admin 1904 Nov 27 11:40 > /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library > And mine: drwxrwxr-x+ 136 root wheel 4624 21 nov 14:40 /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library > (The leading `$` above is just a delimiter to suggest I am typing at > the terminal/bash prompt -- you don't type in `$`) > > (3) Please copy/paste the output of the following command from the terminal: > > $ groups YOUR_ACCOUNT staff everyone localaccounts _appserverusr admin _appserveradm _lpadmin com.apple.sharepoint.group.2 com.apple.sharepoint.group.1 _appstore _lpoperator _developer com.apple.access_screensharing com.apple.access_ssh > and the output is: > > lianogls domainus com.apple.access_screensharing everyone _appstore > netaccounts _appserverusr admin _appserveradm _lpadmin _lpoperator > _developer > > > Thanks, > -steve > > -- > Steve Lianoglou > Computational Biologist > Genentech Thanks again Steve, I hope you’ll spot the problem. How it occurred is secondary, though it makes me very curious.
