Someone apparently didn't even try - of course R is fully compatible  
with SL (and this was mentioned even here on the list). As for source  
compilation the only possible issue is that X11 headers/libs may have  
to be specified at configure time.

Apple was kind to provide us with a seed so we can take advantage of  
the new technologies in SL.

Cheers,
