I use a Macbook Pro laptop, running OX X 10.4.11. I have been running R 2.7.1 with no problems for years, including installing packages such as chron, Cairo, Design.
Today I downloaded R 2.8.0 from my local mirror in Australia. (The md5 result matched the code on the download page.) I then used R CMD INSTALL to install separately-downloaded versions of chron, Cairo etc, as I have done with previous versions of R. When I then ran R, and tried to load Cairo this is what I got: Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : unable to load shared library '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.8/Resources/library/Cairo/libs/i 386/Cairo.so': dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.8/Resources/library/Cairo/ libs/i386/Cairo.so, 6): Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/lib/libR.dylib Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.8/Resources/library/Cairo/libs/i3 86/Cairo.so Reason: image not found Error : .onLoad failed in 'loadNamespace' for 'Cairo' Error: package/namespace load failed for 'Cairo' It seems that missing libR.dylib is my problem. Completely uninstalling R and then reinstalling did not resolve the problem. I also tried a fresh download today from another mirror (BC in Canada), but that didn't help. I am sure I have made a dumb mistake. How do I fix things?
