[R-SIG-Mac] Building AEM on PPC G3 running MacOS X 10.4

[Prof Brian Ripley]

There is no Xcode 3.4 to my knowledge, and certainly not for 10.4. 
Perhaps you meant 2.4, in which case you need to update it.  From 
memory (we no longer support Tiger binaries) Xcode 2.4.1 is needed and 
2.5 is the last version for Tiger.

Alterntively (and better), build R 2.11.0 from the sources on your 
machine.

That is not recommended on Mac OS X, and everywhere we recommend you 
first use build (not build --binary) to make a tarball, then INSTALL 
it.  For how to package Mac OS X binary packages, see that FAQ.
