Please do consult the posting guide as to the right place. (I've moved this to R-devel and included Joe Conway. Joe: perhaps you could make you email address more readily available in the PL/R pages.)
Yes, I'll do that. Sorry for the confusion.
Actually, Joe has been quite helpful in this regard and the question has come up on his pl/R email list before, but without resolution, as far as I could tell (but again, I could be sadly mistaken). I thought that posting to r-help (with the caveat that I was perhaps off-topic) would clarify things for me a bit. It has done just that and I really appreciate your willingness to answer the off-topic post and move it to the appropriate forum.
The Makefile for PL/R actually does attempt to use the dylib, and at one point (at least) worked according to a report that I received. There have been a couple of reported issues with MacOS X since then though. Part of my problem in resolving this has been lack of an OS X machine that I can debug on. Joe p.s. I apologize in advance for slow responses -- I just arrived 9 timezones away from home at the start of a 2 week business trip.
