It looks like you have not installed a source package before, and you
either do not have the development tools installed or they are not in your
path.
In this case probably the tools are missing, starting from 'make'. You
should install the Development Tools / X-Code which come with the MacOS
X installation cd/dvd at least from version 10.3.x. Otherwise you can
get the development tools from http://developer.apple.com/. Moreover,
in this case you need to get a Fortran compiler which does not come with
MacOS. See R for Mac OS X FAQ, section "the Fortran compiler g77 gcc
3.3".
That there is no binary version of a package available usually indicates a
problem with it on MacOS X, at least on the autobuilder's version of
MacOS.
Well, 'hier.part' is younger than the latest entry in Mac binary
packages: there is nothing after Jan 19, 2005. The binary package builds
As hier.part's tarball is dated 3 November 2004, this is obviously false
(and I had checked).
beautifully in MacOS X. However, it seems to require package 'gtools'
that I can't find in CRAN nor in BioConductor repositories. It seems
that this didn't prevent passing tests to be included at CRAN or
producing Windows binaries.
Theresa, I can send you a Mac binary if you don't want to see the
trouble of installing X-Code and g77. However, it failed with missing
'gtools' upon loading.
gtools is part of gregmisc, so you should have been able to find it.
