Simon is pretty much off-line, which is why I replied.

I would simply set the R->R64 symlink as the installer would have done in SL and Lion. The things will work as you expected.

Because I have so many flavours of R installed, I make my own links (in ~/bin, which is on my path).

Marc,

Start with 'which R', or run /usr/bin/R explicitly.

$ which R
/usr/bin/R


That should be a symlink to

/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/R

it does:

$ ls -l /usr/bin/R
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  47 28 Oct 10:47 /usr/bin/R@ -> 
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/R


and that should be a symlink,

it's not:

$ ls -l /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/R
-rwxrwxr-x  1 root  admin  8775 26 Oct 17:22 
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/R*

$ ls /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/R*

The postflight script tests for 10.6 and 10.7 but not for 10.8.
The relevant  lines are

# some jobs needed specifically on Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and 10.7 (Lion)
if uname -r | grep ^1[01] >/dev/null; then

On 10.8.2 uname -r returns 12.2.0 and that doesn't match the grep test.
It would seem that the test should be grep ^1[012] or grep ^1[0-2] .

Actually, I think it needs to be future-proofed.

I was just getting around to that section of the script.

I suspect that this is correct and the timing would make sense with my 
observations here.

Mountain Lion was released on July 25 and I updated shortly thereafter.

The R 2.15.1 OSX binary is dated June 22, before ML was available, so I would 
have had that installed under Lion, since I would have updated from 2.15.0 soon 
after the R OSX binary became available. Thus, 64 bit R would have been the 
default at that time.

R 2.15.2 was of course released after ML, so that is when the change occurred 
to 32 bit R.


Under ML as Berend notes above:

~  uname -r
12.2.0

~  uname -r | grep ^1[012]
12.2.0


I had sent an initial e-mail to Simon with the information, but he replied from 
his iPhone that he is away for a couple of weeks sans computer.

In the mean time, I will get in the habit of using 'R64' from the CLI and in 
ESS.

If there is anything else that is needed, let me know.

Thanks all!

Regards,

Marc
