Hi Simon,
I'm sorry to say that I've tried and failed to set up 64-bit R 2.9.2
and JGR.
(1) It's not clear to me where on http://r.research.att.com/ to
download from. (I searched for "snow", since all else assumed that I
know what I'm doing.)
(2) I don't understand why you say (below) to download 2.9.0 rather
than 2.9.2.
On the above webpage it says:
"Leopard build" (available in 32-bit and 64-bit) and the Download is
R-2.9.0.pkg. That is the installer for all-archs (32+64 bit) R 2.9.0 -
and this is the option a) I was talking about and it's the option that
doesn't assume you know what you're doing - it's simply the package
installer as on CRAN.
Higher up it says "R-2.9-branch-leopard-universal.tar.gz" and in the
table you can infer that it's R 2.9.2 patched (nightly build). This is
the option b) which assumes you know how to unpack a tar ball manually:
sudo tar fxz R-2.9-branch-leopard-universal.tar.gz -C /
The reason I said take 2.9.0 was because it's the fool proof method.
[I don't have an installer for 64-bit R 2.9.2 yet because it's not
automated due to changes in the PM].
So could you please give step by step fool-proof instructions?
(Right now, after fiddling, I can't launch R or JGR.)
Please follow the instructions in the e-mail below - I was hoping
they are fool proof :). Do you have any suggestions to make the R for
Mac webpage more obvious?
Cheers,
Simon

To answer all those recent posts on both mailing lists regarding
JGR on OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard):
You need 64-bit R to run JGR, because Apple has removed 32-bit Java
from OS X 10.6. So follow those steps:
1) Install 64-bit R from http://r.research.att.com/
option a) install R 2.9.0 package (but choose to NOT install
gfortran)
option b) unpack the leopard tar ball for R 2.9.2 and get the GUI
from
http://r.research.att.com/R-GUI-5473-2.9-leopard-Leopard64.dmg
(in fact you can do both if you wish... ;))
2) install necessary packages as follows:
install.packages(c("rJava","JavaGD","iplots"))
install.packages("JGR",type="mac.binary")
3) download 64-bit JGR launcher from
http://urbanek.info/JGR-1.6-SL.dmg
Run the launcher and enjoy.

If you want to use JGR 1.7 from RForge.net, you have to install the
packages from sources (when building JGR you must set NOAWT=1).
If you are using your own build of R, you must build everything
from sources yourself.
Cheers,
Simon
