[R-SIG-Mac] Best installation approach of R on Mavericks for Emacs/Homebrew users?

[Vincent Goulet]

Ok, I'm biased here, but for me (and my students!) the simple procedure is:

1. Install the R binary from CRAN;

2. Install my Emacs distribution for OS X that comes bundled with ESS: http://vgoulet.act.ulaval.ca/en/emacs/mac

3. Enjoy.
