Peter, There should not be a problem with ggplot2 on a Mac; I was able to install and load it without difficulty just now (see below). (though apparently some dependencies are not available, so perhaps some ggplot2 functions won't work properly; I don't know)
This does tend to suggest something is awry with your R installation, as Bob Bond-Lamberty suggested in his response. Note that I have 32 bit R 2.12.2 whereas you have 64 bit 2.12.1. I don't think the 32 vs 64 bit is the problem, since I can run R64 and load ggplot2. Does traceback() used immediately after the error, give any useful information? Not much help, I know... -Don > install.packages('ggplot2',dep=TRUE) --- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... done Warning: dependencies 'marray', 'affy', 'Biobase' are not available also installing the dependencies 'logspline', 'digest', 'quantreg', 'hexbin' trying URL 'http://cran.cnr.Berkeley.edu/bin/macosx/leopard/contrib/2.12/logspline_2.1 .3.tgz' Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 409453 bytes (399 Kb) opened URL ================================================== downloaded 399 Kb trying URL 'http://cran.cnr.Berkeley.edu/bin/macosx/leopard/contrib/2.12/digest_0.4.2. tgz' Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 120633 bytes (117 Kb) opened URL ================================================== downloaded 117 Kb trying URL 'http://cran.cnr.Berkeley.edu/bin/macosx/leopard/contrib/2.12/quantreg_4.57 .tgz' Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 2818374 bytes (2.7 Mb) opened URL ================================================== downloaded 2.7 Mb trying URL 'http://cran.cnr.Berkeley.edu/bin/macosx/leopard/contrib/2.12/hexbin_1.24.0 .tgz' Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 690100 bytes (673 Kb) opened URL ================================================== downloaded 673 Kb trying URL 'http://cran.cnr.Berkeley.edu/bin/macosx/leopard/contrib/2.12/ggplot2_0.8.9 .tgz' Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 2481399 bytes (2.4 Mb) opened URL ================================================== downloaded 2.4 Mb The downloaded packages are in /var/folders/pa/pamYryRNGGKLDVNRYyxBt+++m+c/-Tmp-//RtmplZqsQp/downloaded_pa ckages > require(ggplot2) Loading required package: ggplot2 Loading required package: reshape Loading required package: plyr Attaching package: 'reshape' The following object(s) are masked from 'package:plyr': round_any Loading required package: grid Loading required package: proto > sessionInfo() R version 2.12.2 (2011-02-25) Platform: i386-apple-darwin9.8.0/i386 (32-bit) locale: [1] C attached base packages: [1] grid stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods [8] base other attached packages: [1] ggplot2_0.8.9 proto_0.3-8 reshape_0.8.4 plyr_1.4 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] tcltk_2.12.2 tools_2.12.2 -- Don MacQueen Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory 7000 East Ave., L-627 Livermore, CA 94550 925-423-1062 On 3/4/11 7:19 AM, "linsleys" <linsl...@comcast.net> wrote: >I'm having trouble loading ggplot2 using R version 2.12.1, as shown >below.
