[R-SIG-Mac] install.packages without loading tcl tk interface for mirror selection
Hi, Is it possible run install.packages() using the stock R Mac binary in the command line without it trying to load the tcl/tk interface to select a mirror? I'd rather just use the text-based numerical selection for the mirror and not have X11 start up each time I try to install a package (which, in any case, is pointless if tcl/tk is not installed).

[R-SIG-Mac] Installing Multiple Versions of R
I would like to install two versions of R on Mac OSX 10.6.7. The two versions I would like to install are 2.10.1 and 12.2.2 for use with StatET in Eclipse. I have successfully installed and used each version respectively with StatET in Eclipse. However, I have not been successful in getting both of them configured for use on the same system. We know from the Read Me during the .pkg installation that R will over write older versions. The installer recommends running: pkgutil --forget org.r-project.R.Leopard.fw.pkg to keep the previous versions. In addition, a reply (Mon Feb 9 15:31:19 CET 2009) to a similar question in this form recommends using pkuntils --pkgs | grep r-project I "believe" that both of these commands run successfully. However, the next installation of R still over-writes the previous version. The (Mon Feb 9 15:31:19 CET 2009) post also states to delete: ./Library/Receipts/R-Frameworks.pkg However, neither 2.10.1 or 12.2.2 create a R-Frameworks.pkg in ./Library/Receipts/. I would be genuinely interested in obtaining detailed and organized instructions on how to successfully install two versions of R on the same system. It would also be great if those instructions were written in such a way that a user with limited Linux experience could understand and implement them.

[R-SIG-Mac] svg & cairo support in 2.12.2 and higher?
Hello,
I'm not sure if this is the best list for my question, so please let
me know if I should direct this elsewhere.
When I used R version 2.12.0 on my Mac (Platform:
x86_64-apple-darwin9.8.0/x86_64 (64-bit)), I often used svg() to
create graphics which I then edited in Inkscape. When I updated to
2.12.2, the code that worked in 2.12.0 started returning an error,
"cairo-based devices are not supported on this build". Same problem
in 2.13 released today. And indeed, capabilities() returns FALSE for
cairo, whereas it used to be TRUE.
I tried using {RSvgDev}, but (1) I don't like that I cannot specify a
pointsize, (2) it ignores any color specification of text (gray text
is turned into black), and (3) the vectors come out aliased (i.e., an
'L' shaped vector becomes pixellated at the angle). svg() did not
suffer from any of these problems.
I also tried installing {cairoDevice}, but when I try to load it I get this:
>require (cairoDevice)
Loading required package: cairoDevice
Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :
unable to load shared object
'/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.13/Resources/library/cairoDevice/libs/x86_64/cairoDevice.so':
dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.13/Resources/library/cairoDevice/libs/x86_64/cairoDevice.so,

Referenced from:
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.13/Resources/library/cairoDevice/libs/x86_64/cairoDevice.so
Reason: image not found
For now I have reverted to 2.12.0, but I was wondering if there is any
way to build 2.13 with Cairo capabilities, or if anyone has advice for
getting better-quality svg's in R?
Many thanks,
Sarah

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] svg & cairo support in 2.12.2 and higher?
Try running 32-bit R on your platform: it does contain cairo support.
(So does my own x86_64 build of 2.13.0: looks like there is/was a
problem on the CRAN build machine. So you could also build R from the
sources.)

Yes. RTFM applies (and RT posting guide too: you are expressly asked not to send HTML). See ?select.list, and also ?chooseCRANmirror for how to select mirrors. Look for what options(menu.graphics=FALSE) does.

There is no "overwriting" because each R version lives in a separate directory of the framework. They never overwrite each other even if you don't use pkgutils (if you don't Apple just *removes* the old R, it doesn't overwrite anything). Please make sure you have read R for Mac OS X FAQ - in particular 12.15 should be helpful. > The (Mon Feb 9 15:31:19 CET 2009) post also states to delete: > > ./Library/Receipts/R-Frameworks.pkg > > However, neither 2.10.1 or 12.2.2 create a R-Frameworks.pkg in > ./Library/Receipts/. > /Library/Receipts refers to older OS X (10.4 and earlier) and old builds of R (for those old OS). > I would be genuinely interested in obtaining detailed and organized > instructions on how to successfully install two versions of R on the same > system. > Well, to my best knowledge that's what's in the README.

The current R-2.13.0 patched builds should work as well. It has cairo updated
to a more recent version for it to work in 64-bit (symbols in iconv have
changed in the meantime in the OS). All upgrade libraries are available from
the usual place.

Simon
