RMark on a Mac?

[arpat]

Hi there -

Has anyone tried/managed to run RMark + mark.exe (+emulator) on a MacBook Pro?

Cheers,

Here's a quick note if anyone would like to run RMark (but not the mark engine yet) on their Macs.

To get RMark run on R-mac, unzip the RMarkSource folder (for linux: http://www.phidot.org/software/mark/rma ... Source.zip) on your computer (e.g., Desktop). In OS-X Terminal, type the following:

cd /Users/XXXX/Desktop
sudo R CMD install RMark

(XXXX is your OS-X username)
(sudo is necessary for running the install as a super-user, otherwise it produces an error: "fchmod failed: Operation not permitted")

This will install the package. There will be a warning: "duplicate dylib /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib", but it does not seem to be a problem.

I couldn't succeed in getting RMark to work with the Mark engine (compiled either for windows or linux). This will have to wait until mark engine is compiled for OS-X. I tried emulators such as darwine and dosbox, or running the linux version natively, but no success (Any suggestions?).

But at least, for the moment, it seems possible to work with RMark machinery natively on OS-X.
