[R-SIG-Mac] problems with tkrplot

[Jan de Leeuw]

Yes, there is a way to make it work. You have to download it, then  
build it
with R CMD INSTALL, and then move to the src directory and repeat the  
final link
statement (cut and paste) with the "--bundle -o tkrplot.so" replaced by
"--dynamic -o libtkrplot.dylib". Then move libtrkplot.dylib by hand to  
the lib dirctory
of the tkrplot installation and change the code at the end of tkrplot.R  
such that
it uses the dylib extension.

R CMS SHLIB just builds a bundle, not a library.
