rsruby gem

[timr]

Does anybody have rsruby gem running on snow leopard?
to get rsruby working, you need to install R with --enable-R-shlib. So
you need to install from source. When I try that I find that mac os x
cannot compile fortran code. To do so, I tried installing gfortran.
Then reinstalling R, but R still cannot compile its fortran files via
gfortran (possibly the gfortran is not compatible with SL either?).

So has anyone figure out how to do the install of R on SL and then
gotten rsruby to work? If so, any pointers would be appreciated...

if not I guess I have to wait until a fortran compiler falls from the
sky.
Thanks,
Tim

I have it working (just verified)... I didn't install from source IIRC =
and yesterday I installed the latest R. I think you just want to point =
rsruby at /Library/Frameworks/R.framework and you're golden.

Hi Ryan,
Thanks for responding.
So you installed R with the precompiled R for mac os X that comes with
its own installer?
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/
Could you please tell me what combination of program versions you are
running?
mac os 10.6.2 ?
R version 2.10.0 ?
ruby version 1.9.1p0?
rsruby version ?

that would be helpful.
Thanks,
Tim
