Hi all, I am attempting to install macosx tools to a new Mac Pro. When I attempt to install the devpack sudo tar fvxz /Users/stevenmckinney/Software/R/R-2.10.1/devpack4-darwin8-bin4.tar.gz -C / the tar extract fails due to symlink issues, related to symlinks set up by Rswitch.
Has anyone else encountered this issue, and know of a fix? This is the output from the tar extract command: [momac13:/ stevenmckinney] $ sudo tar fvxz /Users/stevenmckinney/Software/R/R-2.10.1/devpack4-darwin8-bin4.tar.gz -C / x usr/ x usr/local/ x usr/local/bin/ x usr/local/bin/fc-cache x usr/local/bin/fc-cat x usr/local/bin/fc-list . . . x usr/local/share/man/man5/png.5 x Library/ x Library/Frameworks/ x Library/Frameworks/R.framework/ x Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/ x Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/fontconfig/: Cannot extract through symlink Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources x Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/fontconfig/cache/: Cannot extract through symlink Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources x Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/fontconfig/fonts/: Cannot extract through symlink Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources x Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/fontconfig/fonts/conf.avail/: Cannot extract through symlink Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources x Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/fontconfig/fonts/conf.avail/10-autohint.conf: Cannot extract through symlink Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources . . . x Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/fontconfig/fonts/fonts.conf: Cannot extract through symlink Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources x Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/fontconfig/fonts/fonts.dtd: Cannot extract through symlink Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.
