[R-SIG-Mac] OT: Snow Leopard and Application Compatibility

[Jan de Leeuw]

I have been using SL for over a year. Compiling and running a x86-84  
bit R
can be done without problems. There are about 600 packages in my R  
install,
all build and run without problems. I don't know about R.app, though.  
I do
find that R on SL, with suitable optimization flags, feels quite a bit  
faster.
