You are using the Leopard build of R - that one uses
http://cran.us.r-project.org/bin/macosx/leopard/contrib/2.8/
instead (which has fewer package than the Tiger build since only those supporting 64-bit are represented). See also R for Mac FAQ.

http://cran.us.r-project.org/bin/macosx/universal/contrib/2.8/
is for the CRAN (default) Tiger build.

Cheers,
Simon

Dear all,

For some reason, the binaries listed by R GUI's "Package
Installer" (using http://cran.us.r-project.org as mirror, as set up in
the default CRAN mirror in the Startup preference Panel) is not the
same as the listing of binaries available in 
http://cran.us.r-project.org/bin/macosx/universal/contrib/2.8/
. Notably the RGtk2 binary is not available in the listing provided by
the Package Installer, but
RGtk2_2.12.7.tgz 24-Oct-2008 15:01 6.7M
is. Any suggestions of what is going wrong and how I could fix this
(short of downloading the binary manually and installing it locally or
installing it from source)? Many thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Ivan
