[R-SIG-Mac] Hmisc still not available in binaries

[Rob J Goedman]

Hi Denis,

To install the source version of Hmisc on CRAN, with the latest R/ 
R.app (R-2.1.0a.dmg)
installed, the only thing you need is to install the g77 v3.4 Fortran  
compiler. One of the many
improvements in this latest update is that R will select the right  
gcc for you on Panther and
Tiger.

As usual, the compiler is available from http://hpc.sourceforge.net .

With the above Fortran compiler installed, you should be able to  
install nearly all CRAN and
BioC packages from source, although it will be much faster to install  
the binaries whenever
available.
