You are apparently trying to install source packages, which is not the
default on a CRAN build of R. See Berend's reply.
See the 'R Installation and Administration Manual'. Unfortunately you
have not AFAICS told us your exact OS, but for Lion or Mountain Lion you
need to install Xcode _and its command-line tools_ from the App Store. See
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-patched/R-admin.html#Installing-R-under-_0028Mac_0029-OS-X
and its footnotes.
And yes, this is in the Mac FAQ, e.g. at
http://r.research.att.com/man/RMacOSX-FAQ.html#Quick-start
Here are the commands in R I am trying to run.
library(Amelia)
library(Hmisc)
library(polycor)
library(psych)
library(qgraph)
library(lavaan)
library(semTools)
library(paran)
library(nFactors)
library(GPArotation)
library(sem)
library(polycor)
library(rrcov)
Thanks for any help.
Hello all
I am a researcher in the field of tourism and have just recently installed R64
and RStudio onto my Mac (running latest OS). I am ran into some problems
installing additional packages. I have looked through the General FAQs and Mac
FAQS but haven't been able to find a solution.
I have downloaded the various packages I need from CRAN sources and while some
have successfully installed others have not. I have been following the
instructions on the Mac FAQ to unzip and install the downloaded packages using
the command line but the results seem to indicate an error (they are installed
but then don't work properly and so are subsequently uninstalled). It happens
on more than one so that's why I thought it might be something generic I am
doing. Here is a copy of the command line results:

Berend's response:
1. This belongs on the R-SIG-Mac mailing list
2. Why don't you use the R.app GUI to install the binary versions of the
required packages? Much easier.
3. The message: "sh: make: command not found" means that you don't have make
installed.
Most likely you don't have other required tools installed.
If you use the R.app GUI you don't really need tall those tools.
Advice: use R.app to install and if needed get the Xcode tools but only if you
intend to compile your own packages.
