Hi! I need to build R from source on my intel macbook pro. i am wondering if there is a consensus on what gcc and fortan to use. Ive read the FAQ and various posts but there does not seem to be a specific rec. I am looking for a specific rec because sometime ago I successfully installed R by using the gcc and gfortran described here http://hpc.sourceforge.net/ but I think this caused problems later. After the install, I had various weird issues that other macbook pro users i knew did not have. One of the problems was that ssh seg faulted after the 10.4.8. upgrade. The only difference I could find between me and others was the aforementioned install. After two days of trying to fix the seg fault I gave up and re-installed the operating system. ssh is working again after reproducing everything i did before except for the gcc/gfortran install. Any recs will be greatly appreciated.
