I upgraded to 3.3.0 beta from: R-3.3-branch-mavericks-signed.pkg (70Mb,
installer incl. GUI) at the suggestion of Gabor Grothendieck who wanted to
know whether Ryacas would install from github in R 3.3.0. So I installed the
binary that includes GUI: R.app (which now displays the modern R logo). It
installed without difficulty on El Cap running on an ancient machine (early
2008 MacPro). I then decided to move all my package folders over to the new
../library/ and used a Terminal command to do it:
cp -r -n /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.2/Resources/library/
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.3/Resources/library/
I then ran:
update.packages(check.built=TRUE, ask=FALSE)
I replied "y" to questions about building from source and got mostly success on
a reasonably large number of packages with just a few problems:
The downloaded source packages are in
‘/private/var/folders/yq/m3j1jqtj6hq6s5mq_v0jn3s80000gn/T/RtmpHlANa6/downloaded_packages’

I tried updating GDAL from
GDAL 1.11 Complete:
http://www.kyngchaos.com/files/software/frameworks/GDAL_Complete-1.11.dmg
and then reinstalling rgdal without success
Efforts to install the other failures were ... also failures.
None of these packages are essential to my typical use of R, but I'm thinking
others may encounter similar problems, so if there are is a better installation
process, perhaps you could let the list know.
Well, to build rgdal and rgeos from source you need to install the
corresponding libs from https://r.research.att.com/libs/: I think that
applies to Rglpk as well.
For RPostgreSQL I need Sys.setenv(PG_INCDIR = "libpq") to workaround a
bug in the package I reported a couple of years ago.
For RODBC see its manual. There is a slightly simpler way which will be
in the next release:
<<
At least for OS X 10.9--11, all that is required for
\code{iODBC} is to unpack the sources and use their headers by
something like
\begin{example}
ODBC_INCLUDE=/path/to/libiodbc-srcs/include' R CMD INSTALL RODBC
\end{example}
>>
CRAN is only showing OS X build logs for R-release, and the rgdal
version available is rather old as the log has
configure: error: gdal-config not found or not executable.
so something is wrong with the GDAL installation on the build machine.
Hopefully Simon will see this and get the binary packages built.
