Usually, OSX users say setRepositories(ind=1:2) to install from CRAN and <br>
CRAN extras, where OSX binaries for R 213 are provided by Prof. Brian <br>
Ripley. The direct URL is:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/macosx/leopard/contrib/2.13/" _mce_href="http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/macosx/leopard/contrib/2.13/">http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/macosx/leopard/contrib/2.13/</a><br>
<br>
This has static GDAL and standard drivers. Kyngchaos now also has an R <br>
2.13 binary, which depends on the frameworks also provided there - it was <br>
added recently at user request, and provides a larger number of drivers.<br>
