Dear Simon

For some reason I cannto install R-2.7.2 on my Mac (Mac OS 10.3.9) and

unfortunately we don't support 10.3 (Panther) anymore. It is way too old (almost 5 years now) and with the introduction of Intel Macs the newer systems diverged too much such that it is not possible to use the same code on new systems and Panther. Therefore you'll have to upgrade at least to 10.4 to use R binaries (it's faster so if you have a G4 it's a good idea to do so).

Alternatively you can compile R yourself (which is what Stephen is reporting about here), but R starting with 2.7 Aqua/Quartz is no longer supported on 10.3 even in the sources, so you can only use the X11 interface. Also you'll need to compile packages from sources (use type='source' in install.packages).

Finally, the last R binary supporting OS X 10.3 was R-2.2.1 which is still available from CRAN. It is very old, so it will lack many new features and bugfixes.


I cannot find
installations for R-2.7.1 either.


See the "old" directory on the CRAN page.

Cheers,
Simon


The explanations do not help me. I need the programme for the statistic course
at Uni Zürich.

Hope you can help me!

Thanks a lot and best wishes
