Just a quick heads-up on that guide -- installing nightlies from tar balls has some consequences you may want to be aware of. Most notably the installer scripts in the .pkg make sure R architectures match your system, but if you install the tar balls (which are designed for OS X 10.5) that will

Hi, There is also a (somehow recent) post on the bioc-devel mailing list from Kasper that can help here, too: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioc-devel/2011-July/002684.html He assumes you've downloaded R-2.13 and and R-devel binaries from r.research.att.net and install via the `tar fvxz R*.tar.
