Doing so finally allowed the SPSS Essentials for R installer to complete. So (for my case) I manually created "/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.2/Resources/bin/exec/i386" and copied version 2.15 of the R unix executable, and did similarly for "/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.2/Resources/etc/i386", copying in the ldpaths file that the installer seeks. It then seeks a couple of i386 subdirectories that no longer exist as of R 3.2.2. Examining the error log files led me to believe that the installer's attempt to verify the R version inappropriately navigated to the "Current" version (aliased to a specific version, likely not R 2.15 if 2.15 was installed manually), even if the directory for 2.15 was specifically entered into the installer.

The SPSS Essentials for R installer reported that the install location does not contain R 2.15. Instead, I did the following to get around installer error messages I found in the installer log file, which worked for me: In retrospect, it may be most useful to temporarily re-alias "Current" in the R.frameworks folder so that it points to 2.15 version while the installer completes. I opened the R 2.15.pkg installer file, found a file 'payload' inside, used 'tar -xzvf Payload' to extract contents, and moved those contents into /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.15. There's an apparent complication with my attempt at that, though.

The link below has information about disabling OS X El Capitan's System Integrity Protection, in order to change the OS X file /System/Library/CoreServices/ist, so that a false system version can be reported to the installer.Ī safer method might be to manually place the files from R's 2.15 installer. But it doesn't recognize 10.10+ as being higher than 10.9 (or 10.5 for that matter). I think the installation error is due to the old R installer's attempt to verify a sufficiently high OS X system version. An older or newer version of R will not suffice. I did this using the following command: brew install gfortranīrew would complain otherwise that no fortran compiler is installed and R installation would fail.I've run into this problem myself: SPSS versions require very specific versions of R to be installed for the R Integration plug-in to work.

One of the first things I wanted to install was “The R Project for Statistical Computing”.Īnyhow, since home brew requires people to think a bit, it was not as straight forward as some MacPorts rules.įor R, we need to have a fortran compiler installed. Sounds promising I thought and installed it according to the website’s description.

The idea is not to build everything from scratch and create another software micro cosmos but to reuse existing Mac OS X abilities and save some space (as well as time for updates).

After some years as a MacPorts user I decided to give home brew a try, which are advertising their package manager with the sentence “Homebrew - MacPorts driving you to drink? Try Homebrew!”.
