[R-SIG-Mac] problem installing R-2.5.0 on Mac (Vivek Menon)

[D G Rossiter]

Dear Vivekm

Is there a reason you are installing from source rather than a pre- 
compiled binary? Just download the .dmg and off you go.

Another issue, if you are compiling from source, is that you need the  
latest xCode tools. I had problems compiling rgdal from source (there  
is no binary for this package); I downloaded the new xCode (93Mb!!)  
and then everything worked smoothly.
