[R-SIG-Mac] Problems with lzma headers file compiling R 3.3.1 under mac os x 10.7.5

[Simon Urbanek]

I strongly recommend using the supported library binaries from http://r.research.att.com/libs/ (see the R-admin manual C.3 section) since macports are notoriously problematic when mixing with "native" applications.

Cheers,
Simon
