It seems reasonable to ask however, why he is installing source CRAN packages 
on OSX when the default OSX install would be binaries, if he installed R by 
using Simon's OSX binary. 

If he installed R from source, he should have already had the requisite 
compiler related tools installed.

Perhaps I need more coffee late on a Friday, but something seems inconsistent 
here.
