I’ve just upgraded to Mavericks V10.9.4, and I’m installing Xcode 4.2 and planned on installing fortran V4.2.4 that I found at this link: http://r.research.att.com/tools/
Lastly, I’m going to use Apple’s Xcode to install the command line tools, as instructed here: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.html#OS-X Am I correct in thinking this is all I will need to install (excluding R and RStudio again) before this should work and successfully build and install packages? -Jason E.
