[R-SIG-Mac] Testers wanted: Ryacas has a new module

[Bryan Hanson]

David, installs for me and the demo works using r70368 and OS X 10.11.4, most recent Xcode used to compile all the pieces.

I wouldn’t be a regular user but if there is another test you would like, send details.

I couldn't get either version 1.0.63 or version 1.4.2 to accept Ryacas' client messages on the R 2.3.4/OSX10.11.3 platform, despite being able to run YACAS as a standalone package. I contacted Gabor Grothendieck who was in correspondence with Grzegorz Mazur who had recently bolted on a recent version of YACAS to the package itself, obviating any server-client fragility. It seems to "just work" on my system. The only requirements would be current versions of XCode, Rcpp, XML, and devtools:
