[R] Rcompression on MAC - where is it?

[Eduardo M. A. M. Mendes]

Dear Peter

many thanks for your reply.

I am new to R (and MAC) but I had no problem to get my MAC to run gcc and gfortran (years of experience on linux).

Although I have Parallels and Vmware Fusion installed on my MAC, I am not running windows.  

I have downloaded rcompression.tar, untared it, /configure and make install.  On R, I have issued "library(Rcompression)" and zip is now available on R sessions.

I could not find the option local source package on MAC.


Many thanks

Ed

Easy enough via the Packages & Data -> Package Installer -> Local source package, click Install, then browse for file (Simon? That's not proper Mac conventions, is it?). Works for me, but new users may need to install build tools, Xcode et al., as per
