I downloaded the Leopard 64 bit pkg: R-2.9-beta-48309.pkg
It installed without apparent error. I want to retain version 2.8.1
so I checked to make sure the receipt had been deleted.
The receipts are now superseded in Leopard by an internal database
which is controlled by pkgutil, so you have to use pkgutil --forget
instead.
I forgot to mention that I also tried that strategem at a bash prompt
after reading the MacOSX FAQ and was given the response the no such
program could be found.
bash: pkutil: command not found
I am thinking I may not be properly qualified to be on R's bleeding
edge.
Very few are, mate. :-)
I likewise got the ``command not found'' jazz when I tried pkgutil
from the command line (tcsh not bash). Then I tried the ``locate''
command (which I've recently found out about) and
locate pkgutil
turned up
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/
python2.3/pkgutil.py
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/
python2.3/pkgutil.pyc
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/
python2.3/pkgutil.pyo
So pkgutil is a python script. I don't know what to *do* with that
information, but!
Hoping that this may be a *little* help to you.
cheers,
Rolf Turner
