Dear Peter

many thanks for your reply.

I am new to R (and MAC) but I had no problem to get my MAC to run gcc and gfortran (years of experience on linux).

Although I have Parallels and Vmware Fusion installed on my MAC, I am not running windows.

I have downloaded rcompression.tar, untared it, /configure and make install. On R, I have issued "library(Rcompression)" and zip is now available on R sessions.


Packages & Data -> Package Installer -> Local source package

I could not find the option local source package on MAC.


It's only an option with that menu path if you are running the GUI. Otherwise you need to use install.packages( ... , type="source") with the other proper arguments.

Again. Questions of this sort are supposed to go here:

Hello

I need to run an r-file that works on Windows on MAC.

Does that mean you are using a virtual box to run Windoze on Mac hardware?


More likely, he used to run it on a Windows machine, now has a Mac.


The first lines of the file are:

library(R.matlab)
library(Rcompression)

Somehow I cannot find where Rcompression is. Am I missing something?

Learn to search... _first_ hit on google searhc for rcompression is:

http://www.omegahat.org/Rcompression/


Notice that it comes as a source package, so needs to be downloaded and compiled. Easy enough via the Packages & Data -> Package Installer -> Local source package, click Install, then browse for file (Simon? That's not proper Mac conventions, is it?). Works for me, but new users may need to install build tools, Xcode et al., as per

Many thanks
