I want to take advantage of the huge functionality that would come from
linking R functions into the Gnumeric spreadsheet environment. I've
already got Gnumeric up and running via Apple's X11. I've got a few
questions:
1. Has anyone successfully gotten this to work on Mac OS X (I'm running
10.3.8)?
2. The RGumeric instructions (
http://www.omegahat.org/RGnumeric/README.html ) note that (among many
other things) R would have to be recompiled from source and built as a
shared library. The last time the install page for RGnumeric was
updated was in 2002...does R still support being built as a shared
library?
3. Assuming that R may still be built as a shared library, I don't
want to build anything on top of my current installation of R. Can I
build R into some other directory, and just place the libR.so file
where it needs to be, or will this cause a lot of dependency/linking
problems? If so, what would be the best way to get R as a shared
library without destroying my current installation of R?
Thanks in advance,
Jake Michaelson
