Re: [R] For MacBook, best way to do R?
Mitchell, I have been using R on a variety of Macs for a couple of years with no problems. The R aqua interface is very good and I see no compelling reason to not use the precompiled binaries.

On my side: new to R, new to Mac OS X, but enjoying this new environment in a brand new MacBook. I think the R-SIG-Mac list, r-sig-mac@stat.math.ethz.ch, could be of major help.

Re: [R] For MacBook, best way to do R?
Running R using the precomplied binary works really well and you should have no issues. Unless you really know what you are doing compiling R to work on a mac from sctrach can be at the very least tedious, at most, daunting, and there is really no point in doing so, since the binary already takes care of all the issues you may run into. In addition, you will need in install additional software (free though, from the OS X dvd) before you can compile.
