[R] MacOS X: Packages KernSmooth and cluster won't compile

[Jan de Leeuw]

This is one disadvantage of using the fink version of R: although the
maintainer (jsw at cdc.noaa.gov ) has patched and ported the base
and recommended packages, there is no guarantee that other
contributed packages must not be patched to fit into the fink hierarchy.
The advantage of fink is that you get easy updating and the package 
manager
keeps track of the libraries that are installed. But you do give up some
control (and you lose some features such as gnome) compared to
rolling your own or downloading from ftp://gifi.stat.ucla.edu/pub/R.

Contact Jeff at the email address given above to see if he can help.
