Not sure about OS9 for the current version (not sure if R 1.7.1 exists for OS9, someone else here should know). best, -tony -- A.J.

Naomi, Yes definitely, there is even a special list server with mail etc... two versions have been developped at this point they are being merged, it depends on whether you want a more unix flavored- the Darwin approach delivered by Jan de Leeuw or the more mac application version which is all at Stefano Iacus. The two main sites to look at are: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macos http://gifi.stat.ucla.edu/pub The email list that has many helpful hints is r-sig-mac@stat.math.ethz.ch I have been using it in all my statistics for biologists classes for over a year now and the students seem to like it (most of our biology students have macs for some reason).

Yes, provided that you have installed R 1.7.1. Bioconductor 1.2 works. I am using OS X 10.2.6, 640MB 867MHz G4 Powerbook. I run R on X11. A little off topic, remember to use vecLib option when you configure R. Otherwise, it's pretty straightforward installation. (i.e. ./configure --with-blas="-framework vecLib" --with-lapack --with-x R_PAPERSIZE='letter' R_BROWSER='open') Shin Wachi UC Davis On Fri, 11 Jul 2003, Naomi Altman wrote: > Is it possible to install Bioconductor on Mac OS? > > Naomi S.
