Am I missing a step? Did source('http://...'), library(OpenMx) and problems came up.

OpenMx does show up under installed.packages(), but I'm not doing something right because:
> mxMatrix()
Error: could not find function "mxMatrix"
I wonder if this is a permissions problem since you're using OS X Server
Are you logged in as an account that has permissions to write to
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/
You might need to do the install as an administrator, depending on how your OS X Server is set up.
Turns out --- Not just a server issue. Similar issues on my laptop (Mac Pro)

Hi, Pascal,
Let's start out in terminal:
> ls /usr/local/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib
Is it there? If it is, it's a permission issue to that file. If it's not, then you probably need to do a clean install of R for all users. But let's do a quick search first:
> locate libgfortran.2.dylib
If it doesn't find it, then, if you have time:
> /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb
> locate libgfortran.2.dylib
The first will update your "locate" databases.
If it did find it, then you can do an "ln -s" to the file in /usr/local/lib or just cp it there.
As Steve pointed out, the fact that it's server may be causing some problems.
Both computers --- here's the problem.
ComputerName:~ pascal$ ls /usr/local/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib
ls: /usr/local/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib: No such file or directory
ComputerName:~ pascal$ locate libgfortran.2.dylib
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib
What's the best way to fix this?
Give this a try:
That should be all on one line.
Terminal:
ComputerName:~ localadmin$ sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib /usr/local/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib

Let's see output from:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 78 Aug 21 09:30 /usr/local/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib -> /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib
Same thing, both computers. (MacBook Pro & Mac Pro Server)
Let's try a clean install of R on the MacBook Pro. Is that possible, Pascal?
Will do. First let me throw out something else. In the other forum, tbates refers to version 714. Using installed.packages() in R, OpenMx is listed with version "0.1.2-708." Is this a separate/additional potential issue?
That refers to using the latest SVN version, instead of an "official" release. If you'd like to have the most up-to-date version, we can point you to the svn repository. But, for this problem, it's unrelated.
Tried it --- still having problems.

In the terminal, I tried locating the file and got:
ComputerName:~ pascal$ ls /usr/local/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib
ComputerName:~ pascal$
permissions are: lrwxr-xr-x
What do you think of this?
ComputerName:~ localadmin$ ls -la /usr/local/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 78 Aug 21 09:30 /usr/local/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib -> /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib

ls: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib: No such file or directory
ComputerName:~ localadmin$ locate libgfortran.2.dylib
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib
I think there's some bad magic going on there. Did you try a reinstall yet? You might want to
sudo rm usr/local/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib
first.That was after the reinstall. I'll try again, after using the command you listed.
I wouldn't find this so odd, except that both computers seem to be doing the same thing.
So... I can't remove it, because "No such file or directory"
yet it turns up with ls -la
I'm guessing this is due, in some way, to how I updated my R version. We might want to include this fix in a Troubleshooting part of the documentation.
Might help to ask people to start with a fresh install of R, and if they don't, then make that the first port of call for trouble?
If they have the latest version, then we should see if we can fix first, as these issues could pop up when we have to support earlier versions of R as well, that is, when R 2.9.2 comes out.
Poor Solution:
I made a copy of R.framework/Versions/2.9 and relabeled it 2.7. Now when it goes to
/usr/local/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib
it finds
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib
However, when I try to
sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.9/Resources/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib /usr/local/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib
It complains the file exists. When I try to remove /usr/local/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib, it complains that no such file exists. So ugly solution, and some bad voodoo, but it is working. Question is what is the underlying problem? These are two very different machines --- one OS X 10.5.8 server, the other just OS X 10.5.8. I can see if the problem will replicate with one of my machines downstairs, but I suspect the result will be the same.
On a tangent, I get the complaint from R:
> library(OpenMx)
Created directory: /var/localadmin/.sfCluster/restore
snowfall 1.70 initialized: sequential execution, one CPU.
Warning message:
In searchCommandline(parallel, cpus = cpus, type = type, socketHosts = socketHosts, :
Unknown option on commandline: --gui
That last message is a warning from snowfall. It's not our fault. And it doesn't indicate that something is wrong.
Thanks!
Thanks for your hard work on this, Pascal. If you want, I can remote desktop in sometime to see if I can figure out what's happening, it no one else can come up with anything, but I agree: some bad voodoo.
This looks to me like a permissions problem.
Someplace on the directory tree you likely don't have permission to read anything further up the tree (for trees that grow up from their roots).
That's the only thing I know of that can create the symptoms you are describing: a file exists some times (especially when sudo'ing) and doesn't appear to exist at other times.
If your user is named "pdeboeck", you might try
cd /Library/Frameworks
chown -R pdeboeck R.framework
That will make "all your base belong to you".
