Yep. (Or R-devel for generic developer issues, but this one is pretty OSX

It is certainly non-trivial to install this particular package from source.
Is there any reason you don't want to use the precompiled version from CRAN? I

don't end up with a situation where only one or two persons actually know how
to build stuff, but it might not be the most productive route if you actually
need to get things done...
