Dear Simon,
Many thanks for clarifying the confusion. Reading the MAC OS FAQ I
understand that I can _in principle_ use the Tiger binaries with the
leopard build. Is there a way to configure the default package type
of the leopard build from mac.binary.leopard to mac.binary so that
it looks in the universal folder?
You can simply set options(pkgType="mac.binary"). You can do that in
your startup files if you desire. However, it could be (I'd have to
check the sources) that the GUI still overrides this setting so you
may want to use install.packages yourself. Again, I do NOT recommend
this, since it defeats the purpose of the Leopard build (you won't
have 64-bit binaries!), but you're free to do what you please ;).
Cheers,
Simon

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,

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
