[R-SIG-Mac]splancs library does not work

[Stefano Iacus]

I'm talking about binary builds for the Carbon R because as far I have 
understood Jean is using carbon R (rm151 is the folder cited in his 
mail).

Of course under MaxOS X there is no need to have binaries, R CMD install 
is enough.

Only one remark: new iMac that ship with OSX does not include the 
developers package, i.e. gcc and related tools. For this people Jan 
build will be the only solution.
