rgdal installation problem

Thank you. ?sorry if this is basic; had just hoped to find a step-by-step guide for Idiots on how to install GDAL and rgdal on OSX.?

I downloaded?the comprehensive GDAL framework?provided by William Kyngesburye:

http://www.kyngchaos.com/

Help and 'read me' files say to install the GDAL?framework with dependencies first, then an rgdal binary from the same?site.
But I'm not sure how to compile and configure GDAL the right way - so that it gets to the R library and can then be located.
I'm sure it's just a basic step, but?for someone new to this it's a little confusing..
Thanks very much for the URL below, will try to work it through

Usually, OSX users say setRepositories(ind=1:2) to install from CRAN and 
CRAN extras, where OSX binaries for R 2.13 are provided by Prof. Brian 
Ripley. The direct URL is:

http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/macosx/leopard/contrib/2.13/

This has static GDAL and standard drivers. Kyngchaos now also has an R 
2.13 binary, which depends on the frameworks also provided there - it was 
added recently at user request, and provides a larger number of drivers.
