Compiling Source packages in Mac OS 10.5.8

Dear R-SIG-Macers, I am a very newbie for compilation of packages. I usually rely on binaries in CRAN. I need to compile a package under Mac OS 10.5.8. My questions are: a) Where do I put the .tar.gz file to compile and b) What are the exact command line instructions from the R.app GUI? I have RTM and I am lost as to what to do.
Put the .tar.gz file anywhere where R can see it and read it. For
example, after starting R.app if you run getwd() you'll probably see
something like
/Users/<yourname>
Putting the tar.gz in that directory is simplest. Then
install.packages("<path to the .tar.gz>", type="source", repos=NULL)
will attempt to install it.
If it's a simple package, that should just work; if it has compiled C or
Fortran code, you may need to install some compilers to get it to work.
See the links from http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/ for how to
get those for your particular version of OS X.
