[R-SIG-Mac] problem installing R-2.5.0 on Mac

[J ö rg Beyer]

Vivek, 

is there any reason that forces you to compile R yourself? In most cases (as
I see it), you don't have to. The easiest and fastest way to get a
ready-to-use installation of R on your PowerPC is to use the binary
installer you can find on CRAN [www.r-project.org > CRAN > _choose a mirror
from the list_ > MacOS X > _choose a binary distribution package, I
recommend 'R-2.5.0.dmg (latest version)'_ ]

Using a binary distribution, the installation is a question of minutes,
never had any serious problems on my own Power PC (G4/400, Oct 1999 :-)

Note that R 2.5.1 is right in front of our doors, official release date was
set to 2007-06-28, the Mac version usually follows a few days later.

Hope this helps -- good luck!

Jörg
