Error while loading packages R 2.14.0

Hello, I try to install ?netCDF using:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ --disable-netcdf-4
make check install

but the terminal say: configure:

error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

I think I need to install the x developer code with the C compiler. It is
right?

Hi, I have already installed R 2.14.0 and I have some problem to load
several packages, in particular xcms package. I installed it directly
from
the GUI and when I try to load it the R I have:

Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :

I think the error is the absence of ibnetcdf.7.dylib. Do you have any
idea
how can I correct this error??

xcms requires netcdf and zlib, these can be installed from here:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/

The recommended way to install Bioconductor packages is not from the
GUI but as follows:

source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("xcms")

Thanks Dan,
I will follow your suggestion, I will install netCDF but I have two
further
question:

1)Following the instruction in the netCDF downloaded foldere I read:

./configure --prefix=/home/ed/local --disable-netcdf-4
make check i
nstall

What path(/home/ed/local ) should I set on osx??

Set it to /usr/local.

2)Why with the older version of R I haven't had no problem??

I'm not sure. I am cc'ing the package maintainer who can perhaps
answer this question for you. Also, perhaps he can change the package
so that as Brian suggests (here:
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-mac/2011-November/008781.html),
rather than looking for the netcdf libraries on a hardcoded path, he
can do something like what is done in the CRAN package ncdf (see
http://cran.fhcrc.org/web/packages/ncdf/INSTALL).

I there a ?way in osx to upadate R without to re-install all and not
installing the GUI app such as in linux??
