I am attempting to follow this set of directions and am hung up. I
will trim the original message and describe what I have done so far:

after setting up the various compilers and other software discussed
in the "Tools for R Development" and "Other binaries and tools"
sections.
The installation of the Tools is the sticking point:
I am attemptng to follow the directions at http://r.research.att.com/tools/
Checked Xcode and finding that it was 3.0 and seeing that 3.1.1 was
available, download and installed a 1GB file. Checked to see that
Xcode.app had been updated.
Downloaded and installed the gfortran package from the ATT website.
copied "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin" to Terminal line.
Followed "Tools on CRAN" link:
devpack4-darwin8-bin4.tar.gz was download via Firefox to /Users/
Downloads/ and automatically expanded to a folder with Library and usr
descendants within /Downloads/ which I think is not the correct
location. The contents of Library were apparently destined for /
Applications/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/ so I dragged the
fontconfig file there.
Viewing the world through the Mac Finder it is unclear where the /usr/
local folder contents are supposed to go. There is probably a Unix
command that will safely copy the contents of the /usr/ folder
currently residing in /Downlaods to where the "true" /usr/ folder
resides. So I opened a Terminal window and typed:
cp /usr/local/
Can I now just type:
cp /Users/davidwinsemius/Downloads/devpack4-darwin8-bin4/usr/local/* .
... and get all those new files put in the corresponding descendant
folders?
