Hi

I am using Snow Leopard and I can compile packages (I have all tools
installed) but I am asking myself:

Is there an advantage to using type="source" instead of the binary
install of the packages? For certain packages it makes sense to have
fine grained control to link to certain versions of C libraries
(e.g. rgdal), but is there a general advantage of compiling locally?

Or is that simply a leftover from my Linux days, that I prefer locally
compiled packages?

Thanks,

Rainer
