[Qgis-user] Re: Problem activating manageR

[Carson Farmer]

Hi Don,

Unfortunately I don't have access to Mac OS X these days, so perhaps 
someone else from this list has some suggestions? It sounds like you're 
on the right track with the problem, but unfortunately I don't have a 
solution for you at the moment. Does this behaviour occur with all 
python plugins, or just manageR?

You may have to specify which python path you want to use in your 
.bash_login file ($PATH)? Are you able to remove the older python version?
