[R-SIG-Mac] Install R package on mac

[Sundar Dorai-Raj]

Worked for me as well. To find your library directory, just open R and
type ".libPaths()". For me, it's

> .libPaths()
[1] "/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library"

As Kjell noted, I just unzipped the binary in the latter directory.
Then library(wisp) worked just fine.

HTH,
