Does Macports have a port for the GUI for R, the statistical computing program? Is it in fact possible to have a Macport supplying a MacOsX GUI (not necessarily R) that is invoked by double-clicking on an icon?
My inability to use the port search facility efficiently became evident on this issue, since my search for the R-gui failed miserably. "port search R" brings in every port with an r in its name. "man port" advertises that one can use regular expressions in the search, but fails to point to a particular set of regular expressions, ignoring the fact that there are many "standard" collections of basic regular expressions, each likely to have a different way of indicating word boundaries. I tried port search "\<R\>" and also port search "\bR\b", and was told there are no matches, even through "port info R works". Nor could I figure out how to make the matching case-sensitive. So, if anyone can give me a hint on port search regular expressions, that would be helpful.
