Hi Ben,


Thanks for the quick reply!

Here is the nexus file that read.nexus couldn't read under R 2.7.1  
yesterday (this was a problem both for macs and pc's on several  
people's computers -- I had a small group of students try it). When I  
downgraded it read in fine.




It would be great if you could give it a try.

Oops! Sorry you are right, the binaries are there. I guess I got  
myself confused because it is not passing the check. However, it is  
not possible to install the binaries unless you have 2.7.

The real problem is that I can't install from source in 2.6.2.

Yes, that is what it looks like to me.  Why would it be doing that? I  
tried trashing the phylobase directory in the location on my computer  
where R is installed, which is here:

/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/phylobase

before re-installing, in case there was something in there from a  
previous installation with 2.7 still lurking around, but it didn't  
seem to help. Is there anything else I should do for a "clean"  
install of phylobase?

If it turns out that we can only use ape with 2.6.2, and phylobase  
with 2.7, is there a way to switch between R versions on the same  
computer (of course in different R sessions)? I know that  the old  
versions are still there when you install a newer version.

Has any of the other mac users had problems?

Thanks,
Marguerite
