Tim, Unfortunately, there isn't a nice way of including OpenMP for macOS within a package. One potential avenue would be to use a `configure.ac` file to check for whether OpenMP headers are present on the macOS computer and, then, allow the correct OpenMP compilation flags to be set. However, this requires the user to compile from source instead of using a CRAN binary.
Unfortunately, there isn't going to be an easier way as OpenMP on macOS with R is experimental by nature.

It all works fine for me. But users don’t have my usr/ folder, not can a package write to their usr/ folder. so what is confusing is how the user will get this lib. Where should make place libraries like libomp within the package so that if a user merely install.packages() it, the library will be found and loaded?

Note the -C / as part of the last line, that tells tar where to put it on the system.
