Hi there,
I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.7 (PPC) and R 2.3.1. I've tried several
times to install Amelia from source into R, and I keep getting an
error message back that indicates that it seems to have been built
for pentium chips. A transcript of the R session follows. I loaded
Zelig in, then tried to load Amelia in. (Result: "Error: package
'Amelia' was built for i386-pc-mingw32") When the latter failed, I
tried to install from the gking.harvard.edu repository, and I got the
error message "chmod: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.3/
Resources/library/Amelia/libs/ppc/*"
Is this something to be fixed on my end or on the other end?
Thanks for any help you can give.
Best,

Dear Professor King,
I am using the Windows version of Amelia II for imputations on a seven-category nominal variable (multiparty vote choice). The observed distribution is typical of vote shares in multiparty elections (some parties are small, others big) but the distribution of imputations looks suspiciously normal (when seen in the density plot obtained from the diagnostics window). To check, I recoded the variable's categories, but the imputations for the recoded variable still look almost as Gaussian-normal as before recoding, which I think cannot be. Is there a possibility that Amelia doesn't recognize the nominal nature of the variable although I set the appropriate option in step 2?
Thanks for any help!

Hi, everyone. I'm having some basic problems just getting Amelia and R to
work together in Windows, and I was wondering if anyone could help me.
I've installed both R and Amelia, and that seems to go just fine, but when
I open the Amelia batch file, it tells me it can't find R, even though the
Configuration Settings file lists the correct path for R. I've tried this
with both the default file names and DOS compatible 8 basic character file
names.
When I try to install the Amelia package in R, I get the following error
message:
trying URL

The downloaded packages are in

Any tips or suggestions on how to get the programs working together?
Thanks so much.
