This is my package, but I don't think there's anything wrong with
the package (the check summary on CRAN says it's OK).  Does this happen
with all packages?  Have you tried a different mirror? (123 K seems
like a reasonable size for this package).

  On the other hand, the specific error message says the problem
is that R can't find the "tar" command -- is it in your path?

Today, I downloaded the most recent binary for R.app. I'm running on MacOSX 10.4.11.

Downloading packages fail. I've tried it at the command line and using the "Packages & Data" menu. In both cases, trying to downloaded the "emdbook" binary, I get the following error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!
