pl/R and MacOS x

From

I am interested in using pl/R with MacOS X.  I have seen 
bits-and-pieces of how to make this work, but I haven't been able to 
reconstruct the process totally.  For starters, it looks like R is not 
built with a static shared library, just the dylib.  Can someone who 
has successfully completed the process (I know there are some!) let me 
know what steps worked?  One option is to install R from source and 
build a full shared library, but I have struggled through that in the 
past on OS X and would like to avoid it if possible.  I will 
simultaneously post this to the R list in a more general framework.

Thanks for any insight.

Sean

Hi Sean,

Moving this to plr-general...

I have it running on my OSX machine. I compile R from source though.

Did you build R with --enable-R-shlib?

Apart from that the steps were the same as in the docs

Which bit is going wrong?

Cheers

Adam
