It is hard to install some packages in the new R build on OSX Mavericks. Both rgeosand rgdalreturn, for example:
package 'rgeos' is available as a source package but not as a binary
Warning in install.packages :
package 'rgeos' is not available (for R version 3.1.1)
On my Windows system, both packages are installed perfectly for R 3.1.1, so is this a problem with the Mavericks / OSX version or am I having a problem with my build? Changing the library repository does not matter. I looked at creating from binaries, but, for example, on the rgeos homepage page , it says: "OS X Mavericks binaries: r-release: not available", so I am a snooker.
Thanks for the tips.
Edit:
Trying to suggest @Andrie:
> install.packages('rgeos', type='source')
Installing package into ‘/Users/robinedwards/Library/R/3.1/library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
trying URL 'http://cran.ma.imperial.ac.uk/src/contrib/rgeos_0.3-6.tar.gz'
