Whoops, you're right that the Rswitch link there is dead. Here is what I do to switch between release and devel. I put the following in my ~/.bash_profile: alias release="rm /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/Current && ln -s /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.15 /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/Current" alias devel="rm /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/Current && ln -s /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.16 /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/Current" This means when I type "release", I'm using R 2.15, and when I type "devel", I'm using R 2.16. I can only use one version at any given time. This accomplishes the same thing as RSwitch.
