[R-SIG-Mac] R-SIG-Mac Digest, Vol 264, Issue 10

[Simon Urbanek]

Please ignore this "advice" - it makes the mess even worse. As you can tell if you look closer at the output it's about 3rd party tools like homebrew messing up the build which causes the problem in the first place.

BTW: the page you quote is complete nonsense: CRAN does provide binaries - that's the whole point of the recipes so that users don't have to re-compile it and can just install it from CRAN.

Cheers,
Simon
