[R] installation on Mac OS X

[G. Sawitzki]

For a start, try the Macintosh version. It is carbonized, so it will 
run under 10.1.1 as expected. It comes as a usual Macintosh self 
extracting archive.

If you need features not provided by the Macintosh version (e.g. if 
you need INSTALL or other specialfeatures), use the proper MacX 
version. You have to install the files in your UNIX search path. To 
use the MacX version, you need XWindows (either xfree or the 
commercial version XTools from Tenon will do). Public software like 
Xfree is available from
	<http://fink.sourceforge.net/>
or	<http://gnu-dawin.sourceforce.net/>
The only trick seems to be that you need dylib on your machine. Check 
for Jan de Leeuw's message on "Re: [R] dylib error" in the r-help 
mailing list.

More background information is given in Jan de LEEUW'S ARTILE IN R 
NEWS VOL 1/3. See
