Hi, I'm using RKWard on my Mac and so far things have been working quite well. Since the latest easy-to-install Version of RKWard for Mac OS X I've been successfully advertising RKWard to my department and they are thinking about switching from SPSS to RKWard as primary statistics software.
In the process of demonstrating RKWard to our PI I had difficulties installing packages from CRAN. First, I installed "rk.ANOVA" and everything worked as expected. Trying to run the analysis RKWard tried to install the "ez" packages that "rk.ANOVA" depends on. After successfully downloading all package components I got an error message concerned with "make": "R version 2.15.1 (2012-06-22) -- "Roasted Marshmallows" Copyright (C) 2012 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing ISBN 3-900051-07-0 Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin11.4.0/x86_64 (64-bit) R is free software and comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

After some research I found that this problem is probably specific to RKWard because "R for Mac OS X recognizes packages in two forms: binary packages and source packages. [...] Unlike on other unix systems, R for Mac OS X installs binary packages by default, i.e. install.packages will look for binary repositories unless instructed otherwise." (<http://tinyurl.com/cusftyz>). I'm not sure whether this problem is best solved by making installation of binaries a default setting in RKWard for Mac OS X or by providing "make" with the RKWard installer. Either way, it would be nice if RKWard did not depend on Apple XCode. Cheers, Frederik -- Dipl.-Psych.
