> Hello,
>
> I am trying to see if I can get RMatlab from Omegahat
> (http://www.omegahat.org/RMatlab/) working on OS 10.6.4 to be able to call
> R from Matlab.
>
> I am following the instructions at:
> http://www.stanford.edu/~dgleich/notebook/2009/09/rmatlab_using_r_from_matl
> ab.html
>
> I got to the point of running the ./configure script (see below) where the
> script complains that libR.so cannot be found. I searched my Mac for a
> libR.so file, but could not find it. I am using the latest OSX binary from
> CRAN, and I read in the R for Mac OS X FAQ that it is already compiled as
> a shared library.
>
> If there are likely to be non-trivial changes involved in trying to
> compile it for OSX, then probably doing it by myself is beyond my current
> ability, as is also probably already obvious.

> Seeking hints/guidance/advice...

> There is no R shared library (libR.so), so you cannot run R within Matlab.
