I've come to the point where some of the packages I want to use require me to work from source.

ERROR: configuration failed for package ?Rcompression? So, It appears that I have to install a compiler. Looking at Xcode the package that was available required an OS upgrade is Xcode the only option or is there another option I can use..
Xcode is available for pretty much all OS X versions so you must be looking at the wrong one. If you have OS X 10.5 you want Xcode 3.1.4 and for OS X 10.6 you want Xcode 3.2.3 or 3.2.4. They will be on your PATH automatically once you install them. Cheers, Simon
