Re: [Rd] R install problem on MacOS 10.5.1 (PR#10476)
Simon, quoted below, is correct about the /usr/local/lib infinite-reference being a problem. In case it's of any use to other OSX users, my guess is that macPorts caused that error. I infer that based on the time at which the symlink was created, which was at the time when I was trying to install MacPorts. (That install failed. I cannot pin down the time too well because it took several hours of compilation to fail.) I am putting a link to a posting I made on this issue below, in case its thread expands to provide good hints for other R/Leopard users. (Simon's suggestion about moving "lib 1" to "lib" worked for me.) http://www.nabble.com/problem-installing-2.6.1-on-OSX-Leopard-%28after-failed-MacPorts-install%29-tf4933141.html#a14119813 Simon Urbanek wrote: > > > > No. The failure is due to a strange symlink in /usr/local/lib that > points to itself.

Re: [Rd] Defaults for postscript()
I think you should change anything you want to change, on the assumption that most users are setting things by themselves, anyway. Now may be the time to change anything that you (and those kind enough to reply to your post) would like to see changed. For an example, I really like the ratio of font size to default plot size that I see in windows on my OSX machine, and would love it if pdf (which I use instead of postscript), produced similar geometry. I find pdf() produces a sort of "spaced out" appearance, with large fonts and lots of spacing, and that's great for giving lectures, but for papers I always set the page width to 10 inches or more, simply to get a higher ratio of data to labels. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Defaults-for-postscript%28%29-tp14188096p14366644.html Sent from the R devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
