Re: [R-SIG-Mac] .mpkg not recognized
Hi Folks, Installer.app is not on that machine. I cannot imagine what happened to it. I will get a new copy. THANK YOU!

FWIW: it this case you can probably still use the command-line version. It can be used like this: sudo installer -pkg R.mpkg -target / Cheers, Simon ___ R-SIG-Mac mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac

Possibly you can pull it off the OS X Installation CD - it's living in /Application/Utilities there as well (directly in the root of the CD) - just drag it to your disk. Also try to look in your Trash. Cheers, Simon ___ R-SIG-Mac mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
Re: [R-SIG-Mac] .mpkg not recognized
If you don't have Installer.app in /Applications/Utilities then indeed you cannot open mpkg files. If you do have it, then your LaunchServices database is broken -- try dropping the mpkg on Installer.app On Apr 27, 2006, at 14:29 , Martin Henry H.
