I am using R & emacs (the version provided by [1]) installed via homebrew, ESS and org-mode installed From git, and it works without problems for me. I somehow prefer to install all packages fro source, which works nicely, and one needs s-code anyway when using homebrew. > > https://onote2.github.io/2013/12/04/install-r-on-mac-os-x-109-mavericks/ > > The simplest. Looks great. Be aware, that gfortran is not available anymore: ,---- | $ brew search gfortran | GNU Fortran is now provided as part of GCC, and can be installed with: | brew install gcc `---- I don't know which one I followed, but so far all look more or less correct. I would suggest to follow the first one, and look at error messages, and then follow these. Be aware that if you install R and gfortran from the official R repos (or Simons), the gfortran *will* interfere with homebrew's R (unless my memory is misleading me completely). I had to completely remove it before installing R from homebrew. Also: when swithching, you have to re-compile *all your installed packages* due to different compiler versions. This (and the from Prof Ripley later mentioned limited availability of packages for R in binary) is the reason why I am using the homebrew installation of R and compiling all packages from source - no problems so far.
