[R-SIG-Mac] question about installing from source

[Mark Daniel Ward]

Dear Roger and Simon,
Thank you for the advice about the difference in the compile options for 
different architectures. I used the link Simon provided:
http://r.research.att.com/libs/
I successfully installed the pre-compiled FFTW from their website, and 
subsequently I was able to install the Rcartogram perfectly. This is great!!
Thank you both for your kind help. This was an incentive for me to 
finally join the Mac list for R users too (I'm already subscribed to 
some of the other R lists).
Mark
