Hi,
Could anyone here provide some more details on the issue described
below? (That is briefly, when installing ggplot2 under R --
install.packages("ggplot2", dep=T) -- one finds a couple of
dependencies missing. Apparently this is a Mac-only issue?)
Dependencies spanning more than one line were not included in PACKAGES
generated by the Mac binary building script (quite obvious when you
look at which dependencies of ggplot2 were not installed ;)).
What would be involved in fixing it?
Mainly reporting it :). It's the first time I hear about this issue.
It should be fixed now - it may take some time until all CRAN mirrors
have picked it up, though.
Thanks,
Simon
I'd be willing to look into it if someone would point out where to
start. Thanks!

To: David Faden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Hi David,
It's a bizarre bug with the mac version of R - I've complained about
it before but it hasn't been fixed yet.
Complaining is exactly the wrong thing to do - if reported (as David
did) it is usually fixed right away...
Would you mind emailing
R-SIG-mac to complain?
Thanks,
Hadley

Hi,
I guess you may have heard about this before, but I'm looking at
ggplot2 again (and will probably try introducing it to some others
eventually after I'm on solider ground myself) and thought it was
worth a mention. install.packages("ggplot2", dep=T) seems to miss the
dependencies RColorBrewer and colorspace so that even after running
it, a call to library(ggplot2) fails with an error. For example,
running in R 2.7.1 on a MacBook running Mac OS X 10.5.2, I had the
following R session:
...
install.packages("ggplot2", dep=T)
library(ggplot2)
Loading required package: grid
Loading required package: reshape
Loading required package: proto
Loading required package: splines
Loading required package: MASS
Loading required package: RColorBrewer
Error: package 'RColorBrewer' could not be loaded
In addition: Warning message:
In library(pkg, character.only = TRUE, logical.return = TRUE, lib.loc
= lib.loc) :
there is no package called 'RColorBrewer'

Installing RColorBrewer, library(ggplot2) still fails with an error
because colorspace is missing. Of course, it is not too much of a
hardship to call install.packages a couple extra times, but I worry
this will disconcert some of the people I'd like to introduce to
ggplot2. Thanks!
