Yes, I agree. I was having a hard time figuring out where to put everything
such that ROracle would even install without error, and this:

was one of the sources that ended up being blended into the solution that
worked for me. With/without the double colons yields the same results.

This is what I find puzzling. I have done this and added the relevant path
to DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, and it still doesn't work, except when I run R from
the terminal. So something, somewhere must be configured correctly (or at
least just correctly enough), but somehow it's getting lost when I run R in
the GUI or RStudio. I just wish I knew what that missing piece could be. Oh
well.
