Hello friends. I've just switched from linux to osx, and I'm liking
it, except now that I'm getting down to brass tacks, and needing to
install some R packages, I'm at a roadblock. I'm hoping someone can
help.
My R is installed from a .dmg, and resides as follows:
$ which R
/usr/local/bin/R
The problem is that I cannot build packages. For example, see the
below (which also indicates that libfrtbegin.a is in the
/sw
directory, i.e. that it was installed by the FINK setup). Does anybody
know how I can solve this problem, e.g. how to alter the
-L(directory)
commands that are employed?
(Aside: I looked for a solution on the R archives. Also, I've tried to
make my subject-line clear enough that an answer will benefit other
osx/fink users. Thanks!!)
