[R-SIG-Mac] packages

[Jan de Leeuw]

You may have problems compiling tseries and gbm for Mac OS X.

tseries does not compile with g77-3.4 (Khanna), but does compile
with g77-3.3 (fink). Don't ask me why.

gbm needs a patch with R-1.8.0 (not just on the Mac). Greg says


Somehow IEEE_754 is defined on Windows and Darwin yet it cannot locate  
isnan(x). I'm not sure what to make of this. This problem did not  
occur on Linux. But to get around it on my Windows machine I modified  
buildinfo.h in the gbm package to have the following lines after  
#include <R.h>
 
    #ifdef IEEE_754
    #undef ISNAN
    #define ISNAN(x)   R_IsNaNorNA(x)
    #endif
I'll work on this some more and hopefully come up with a more polished  
solution to submit with gbm 1.1.
