OT: Snow Leopard and Application Compatibility

Hi,

I have been using SL for over a year. Compiling and running a x86-84  
bit R
can be done without problems. There are about 600 packages in my R  
install,
all build and run without problems. I don't know about R.app,  
though. I do
find that R on SL, with suitable optimization flags, feels quite a  
bit faster.
Would you mind sharing what optimization flags those might be? :-)

In one of your previous posts you mention that you configure R for  
source compilation via this command:

configure --with-aqua --with-blas='\''-framework vecLib'\'' --with- 
lapack --prefix=/usr/local/R --disable-R-framework --with-readline -- 
with-cairo --enable-memory-profiling --enable-R-shlib --x-includes=/ 
usr/X11R6/include --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib --build=x86_64-apple- 
darwin10 --host=x86_64-apple-darwin10 --target=x86_64-apple-darwin10

I'm not sure I see any optimization flags there (aside from specifying  
darwin10 (for snow leopard, I reckon?)), but is all that you mean?

Thanks,
-steve

There are list members with access to the developer pre-release  
'seeds', and I have seen 'Mac OS X 10.6' in one report (with a  
corresponding sessionInfo() output). So it seems very likely there  
is no problem with R, and most likely none with with R.app.

(We are deferring upgrading until our sysadmins are back from  
holiday absences.)

All,

Above is the link to a web site that is being updated with  
information on potential application compatibility issues with  
Snow Leopard (SL). Curiously, R is listed there...with an "Unknown  
Status".

Our copy of SL should arrive tomorrow.

Before updating, you should review this list to see if there are  
any potential issues with programs that you are using and SL.

If there are, you may have to wait to upgrade the OS until an  
application is updated to be compatible. I have to wait until PGP  
(my whole disk encryption program) is updated, which supposedly  
will be soon according to their tech support folks.

Regards,

Marc Schwartz
