My apologies for the cognitive error that misinterpreted this as R 2.9.2. I would ask if Jason has read this: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.html#OS-X and has all the approporiate Xcode and matching compilers installed before attempting to compile from source (as one would need to do if getting packages from r-forge)? -- David. > > -- > David. > > > On Sep 8, 2014, at 10:06 AM, MacQueen, Don wrote: > >> First a couple of suggestions (people on the various R mailing lists tend >> to be picky about things) >> >> - do not send HTML email, send only plain text >> >> - spell things right (there is no package named “quant mod”, and >> misspelling means you are asking potential helpers to do more work than >> necessary) >> >> - show in the email (copy/paste) exactly what you tried, and exactly >> what the error messages were (people need that information to help).
