I selected a file called DRUtils_1.0.tar.gz as a Local Source File in the
Package Installer and got this result:
* Installing *source* package 'DRUtils' ...
** libs
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/SHLIB: line 1: make: command
not found
npackage installation failed
ERROR: compilation failed for package 'DRUtils'
What is it I am missing? Thanks for any suggestions!

In order to be able to install an arbitrary source package (*.tar.gz) you need to installl additional tools on your mac. See the osx faq. Basically, you need to setup your machine to build R from source. If you can do that, then you can build source packages. The alternative is to stick with binary macosx packages (*.tgz). + seth
