OS: OpenBSD version 4.1 i386 R version 2.4.1 (2006-12-18) installed as a binary package
$ ls mapproj_1.1-7.1.tar.gz maps_2.0-36.tar.gz $ sudo R CMD INSTALL mapproj_1.1-7.1.tar.gz /usr/local/lib/R/bin/INSTALL[118]: .: /usr/obj/i386/R-2.4.1/fake-i386/usr/local/lib/R/share/sh/dcf.sh: not found I get the same error message from the R command prompt using install.packages("mapproj", dep=TRUE) Questions regarding /usr/obj/i386/R-2.4.1/fake-i386: o Where did this path come from? o Is there a conflict between OpenBSD ports and R packages? o Is OpenBSD ports trying to do the package install? If so, how do I stop it? Please note that I have installed R packages successfully on Linux, Windows XP and FreeBSD.
