Hi Jessica, I still think you're making it more difficult by trying to download and install packages in a two-step process instead of using install.package(). What exactly happens when you try install.packages("ape") ? -Ista On Wed, Feb 17, 2010 at 2:22 AM, Jessica Joganic wrote: > Thank you a

Hi Jessica, As far as I know that's the expected behavior (at least it's not OS X-specific: I get the same on OpenSuse 11.2). What happens if you do download.packages("ape", destdir = "~/Desktop/") ? Also, out of curiosity, why are you using download.packages() instead of install.packages()? Be

Hi Fellow R Users, I recently upgraded to Mac OS X 10.5 (Snow Leopard) and had some issues downloading and running R 2.10.1. I fixed the tcl/tk problem I was originally having but it was replaced with another. I run R out of the shell (terminal) and when I ask it to download.packages() it gives me
