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The receipts are now superseded in Leopard by an internal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
That looks like a copy/paste error, but the question is, when?
Did you try to run pkgutil and miscopy the error message, or did
the error happen earlier?
WTF?
I (thrice) 1) tried the command earlier and got that message, and
2) more recently correctly copied the error message when I ran it,
and 3) now tried pkgutil --forget R-Framework.pkg. Warnes said it
was dpkgutil (or pkgutil), you say it is pkgutil. All three have
unfavorable results. Screen-scrapes of the last two attached:
It is pkgutil as in my e-mail [thanks @ Gregg - I didn't notice the
typo in the ReadMe]. The name to forget is definitely not R-
Framework.pkg because it is supposed to be ID of the package, but it
depends how you installed the first R. If you used the Leopard
installer then it's
pkgutil --forget org.r-project.R.Leopard.fw.pkg
To see a list of installed packages, use
pkgutil --pkgs
Usually you only have to forget the framework, the GUIs install in
the same location, so you have to move them aside in either case.
Among other things, I see these after:
pkgutil --pkgs
.
.
org.r-project.R.Leopard.fw.pkg
org.r-project.R.Leopard.GUI.pkg
org.r-project.R.Leopard.GUI64.pkg
org.r-project.R.Leopard.gfortran42.pkg
So if I want to install 2.9 alongside with the GUI for 2.9 what should
I do? My guess based on the foregoing would be use pgkutil --forget
twice: once for the R pkg and onece for the GUI sot that I can keep
both 2.8 and 2.9. I am assuming that the GUI's can get separate names
and would be installed in /Applications/
