Has anyone come up with a solution to adding binaries to R 2.4.0 or 2.4.1? I am trying to install several packages that always fail. I am running a Mac Pro and lost lots of functionality after upgrading from 2.3.1. I have tried manually downloading the packages, but they won't even uncompress in the finder. I think there are a bunch of bad packages out there. so far I have issues with rgl and fBasics.
I've tried the cran library and the one at BioConductor and I get the same errors. Here is an example... trying URL 'http://cran.cnr.Berkeley.edu/bin/macosx/universal/contrib/ 2.4/rgl_0.68.tgz' Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 1649254 bytes opened URL ================================================== downloaded 1610Kb Error in sprintf(gettext(fmt, domain = domain), ...) : argument is missing, with no default In addition: Warning message: no package 'file43cd3747' was found in: packageDescription(p, lib = lib, fields = fields, encoding = NA) tar: Skipping to next header tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--length error tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors > Alternatively I wouldn't mind going back to 2.3.1, but I can't find it anywhere.. Can anyone help? Thanks Ken _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Mac mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
