Good morning. I am considering buying a new computer to develop an R package for multi-dimensional Monte Carlo simulation. One requirement is to call, from R, a Fortran 90 program about 1000 lines of code. A C++ version of that program is also available if desired. Will the new Core Duo Mac be a good development platform in the sense that I will not need to struggle with too many technicalities in linking R with the compiled code? I am asking this because I saw that the binary Mac R distribution in fact has compilers bundled in it. I currently work mostly on Windows and was told that I will have a lot to download and configure if developing on Windows.
Thanks in advance.
