[R-SIG-Mac] R-alpha on SL system

[Roger Koenker]

Thanks Simon.  Starting with a fresh source directory and building

My usual set of packages also installed fine except for rgl once I  
realized that I need
to invoke R as R --arch x86_64.

Thanks for your patience,
Roger

PS.  Is the rgl a known issue?   I get

checking for X... no
configure: error: X11 not found but required, configure aborted.
ERROR: configuration failed for package 'rgl'
