I have seen bits-and-pieces of how to make this work, but I haven't been able to reconstruct the process totally. For starters, it looks like R is not built with a static shared library, just the dylib. Can someone who has successfully completed the process (I know there are some!) let me know what steps worked? One option is to install R from source and build a full shared library, but I have struggled through that in the past on OS X and would like to avoid it if possible. I will simultaneously post this to the R list in a more general framework. Thanks for any insight. Sean
