OpenMx Installation

Hi folks

I am also having a problem installing and using OpenMx on a Max running snow leopard. This is true both with my desktop Mac and a new Macbook running R 2.10.1 (brand new download). It seems to download the package ok, but when I try to require Open Mx, I get:

> require(OpenMx)
Loading required package: OpenMx
Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :
unable to load shared library '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/OpenMx/libs/i386/OpenMx.so':

I have a mac with snow leopard, I downloaded R-2.10.1.pkg and installed ok.
I think I have done something wrong next.
I am not sure I have everything running correctly.
I think the library installed correctly but I don't know how to check that.

I opened R console, and pasted source('http://openmx.psyc.virginia.edu/getOpenMx.R')
the file downloaded and I got this message
The downloaded packages are in
/var/folders/-9/-9+HhN1kGMO4-yHl4DD1Bk+++TI/-Tmp-//RtmpaaVukg/downloaded_packages

I ran the short example on the quickstart page
addone <- function(number) {

I am new to this community and am very excited to find out more about OpenMx. Now I can get it installed on my Windows box using the binary package, but cannot seem to get it installed on my 64-bit Linux box. Has anybody succeed on 64-bit Linux with R 2.10.0? Many thanks.

Best,
Shige

fyi:
got the following error trying to install OpenMx on a netbook running windows 7 starter:

> source('http://openmx.psyc.virginia.edu/getOpenMx.R')
Warning in install.packages(pkgs = c("OpenMx"), repos = repos) :
argument 'lib' is missing: using 'C:\Users\carey\Documents/R/win-library/2.10'
Error in f(res) : invalid subscript type 'list'

unsure whether this is an issue of (1) OpenMx; (2) R under Win 7; (3) Win 7; or (4) any combo of the above.

Hi,
I spoke to Steve Boker at SMEP as I was having problems loading OpenMx on my Mac. The problem seems to stem from the absence of a fortran library, and this was seen as a problem in R installation. Does any one have a solution to this problem?

As I just upgraded to Snow Leopard on my new hard drive in my MacBook, I need to find out what the best/recommended way is to install OpenMx.

So OpenMx is working fine on my 32-bit R (which I tend not to use anymore), but is there a way to install the 64-bit version of the package?

Darnit! Today was "the day" for starting to learn OpenMx, but I'm having trouble installing. Both snow and snowfall install fine, but I get this warning upon trying to install OpenMx:

Hi
I'm running into a glitch when installing under Ubuntu 9.04 (64 bit) with R 2.9.2
- I used the source statement from the email dated Aug 17
Error and R.version() are included below

Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... done
Warning in install.packages("snowfall") :
argument 'lib' is missing: using '/usr/local/lib/R/site-library'

Would you like to create a personal library
'~/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.9'
to install packages into? (y/n) y
