[R-SIG-Finance] RQuantLib on OS X Mavericks?

[Keith S Weintraub]

Joshua,
Thanks for the help.

As you can see below (clearly?) I did have QuantLib built. Maybe it's an older version?

I will look into putting the built binaries in my include path as that wasn't something that I knew was necessary.

Also I will try to put the binaries in my include path.

Thanks again,
Best,
KW
