Hi,

I installed R on mac (see below). When I start it from a terminal by
the following command, the current working directory is always '~' no matter where my current directory is in the terminal. I'm wondering if there is a way to make the gui R on mac inherent the current directory
from the terminal.

/Applications/R.app/Contents/MacOS/R

Look in the R > Preferences >Startup dialog under the "Initial working directory" section. You'll see you can run this from the command line in
order to open R.app within a given directory:

$ open -a R.app <dir-or-file>

So, to open in the current directory, just type:

$ open -a R.app .

You can make an alias for this and set it in your .bash_profile in order to
make your life easier, maybe:

alias r="open -a R.app ."

Small r so it doesn't interfere with /usr/bin/R

Hope that helps,

I installed http://r.research.att.com/R-2.9.2.pkg

Then, I run the following command in a terminal.

open -a /Applications/R64.app/Contents/MacOS/R .

I get the following errors in the gui window. If run
/Applications/R64.app/Contents/MacOS/R directly, I'll not get the
errors. I'm wondering what the problem is. How to fix it?

0x114241120, p = 0x114241124, pEnd = 0x114241128)

Those are not errors.

Please send followups to the correct list.
