R help - Apr 2005 - Compatability with Tiger OS X 10.4

Does anyone know if R will install and run properly on the
soon to be released Tiger operating system (Mac OS X 10.4)?
There must be several Mac users out there (like myself) who
will be considering the upgrade.

don't know about the binaries, but I'd be surprised if you couldn't
compile
it. You've given me something to think about, though, as to whether I want 
to upgrade on my "analytic box".

No one _can_ know.  Mac OS 10.4 is unreleased, and things can easily 
break before release.

It is working on pre-releases.  One problem is that Mac OS 10.4 (don't 
think you need two tens) will use gcc 4.0.0, which is also unreleased and 
its release candidates have problems compiling R (see the R-admin manual 
for R 2.1.0), including on Mac OS 10.4: there are also questions about how 
`properly' it runs R.  The biggest problem we found in gcc 4.0.0 has been 
fixed within the last week, and it is unclear if this fix will make Mac OS 
10.4.

The R Mac OS X maintainers are working hard (thank you Stefano and Simon) 
on this and I expect them to succeed, but quite possibly by using patched 
tools or non-standard options (such as using a static Fortran runtime).

Watch this space (or R-sig-mac if it needs to be technical).
