Problems loading R package into SPSS v 28.01.0 on Mac Intel Monterey

  • 1.  Problems loading R package into SPSS v 28.01.0 on Mac Intel Monterey

    Posted Fri January 14, 2022 11:43 AM
    I am running SPSS v 28.01.0 (142) with XQuartz 2.8.1. on an intel i5 Mac Pro running Monterey 12.1. I have installed HETCOR and also the R package polycor but there are runtime error messages. Is there a way of resolving this? Many thanks.

    Hi James. What kind of errors are you seeing? If you can share the errors we should probably be able to locate the cause.

    Best,

    You should be able to get a better error message.  Try running this from a syntax window.

    begin program r.
    install.packages("polycor")
    end program.

    Thanks. Running the syntax gives the following error message:

    I don't see any issues with these packages as posted on CRAN, and they seem to have downloaded to your computer.  It's annoying that the messages only report a nonzero install status.  That indicates some error but offers no clue as to what the error is.

    Hunting around on the web, I found this comment on Mac package installs.  You might try again using the install.packages code below substituing the zip file path with the downloaded information for each one.

    If you get a non-zero exit status first check to ensure all dependencies are installed as well. Read through the messaging. If that is checked off, then look for indications such as gfortran: No such a file or directory. That might be due to Apple OS compiler issues that some packages will not install unless you use their binary version. Look for binary zip file in the package cran.r-project.org page, download it and use the following command to get the package installed:

    install.packages("/PATH/zip file ", repos = NULL, type="source")
