It happened to me that when I clicked on the "install dependencies" checkbox, it basically installed every possible package. I remember it happened with doBy, where it installed tens of packages. The problem is likely because it installs the dependencies of the dependencies of the dependencies and so on. It might be fixed by now. But this has never happened with install.packages() so I don't try to use the package installer anymore.

Hi again,

It probably won't be of any help for now, but you might need it in the future: 
I used to install packages from the package installer. Then I realized that it 
often messed up with dependencies.
I notice there is a nice 'install dependencies' checkbox on the GUI package 
installer.  It has always worked for me.

That's why the best way to install packages and their dependencies on Mac is to run 
install.packages("package") in the console.

I hope you'll be able to fix your problem soon

Hi Ivan

In R I was going to the Packages and Data menu then clicking on Packages 
Installer option. From there I selected CRAN sources and used that to search 
for the below libraries (I also ticked the option to install dependencies). 
Some such as Amelia did install but others one didn't. Prof Brian has given 
some suggestions so I will follow up on those first, as I think my overall 
install is not correct just yet.

Will get back to you all on how I get on.

Thanks

Ross

Hi!

Not sure it will help you, but in the R.app, have you run install.packages("name of 
package") first? What is the error when you type library(name of package)?

HTH,
Ivan

Originally posted this on the standard mailing list and it was suggested that I 
post here on SIG Mac list. Have also included Beren's response who emphasised 
using the R.app GUI, however I am doing this as my first step. The below error 
message turns up there as well. Am stuck on the 'make' command and how to make 
that work.

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.
