  "Installer screws up the system"

  June 25, 2004  |   By davids-world.com

  Version: R for Mac OS X 1.9.1

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
  I strongly recommend against installing 1.9.1. The installer package seems to change the permissions on the /Applications folder (and probably on other folders as well), which means that a normal user (that does not happen to have user id 501) cannot open the Applications folder anymore.
  
  Running Disk Utility ("repair permissions") helps in such a case -- provided you are able to run Disk Utility without accessing your Applications folder (which might be hard for the non-techie).
  
  It's hard to understand from a naive point of view why an Aqua application needs to install a framework into the library folder. But if it does, it better not mess up my system.
  
  The libxml package that is included does the same kind of BS, but this time with the less important /usr folder.

  "Nice, but could use improvements."

  Version: R for Mac OS X 1.8.1

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
  Nice job integrating R with a nice GUI. Was using Fink version previously.
  
  I'd like to see a resizable command window (sliding partition maybe). A couple bugs I've noticed was a crash when I quit X11 and when installing Bioconductor, it seems confused about what version is the latest (currently 1.3).
