installing geiger from source on mac

_geiger_steps.markdown

R typically installs libgfortran so packages can link to it, but for some reason it wasn't linked properly for me.

ln -s $(R RHOME)/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib $(R RHOME)/lib/libgfortran.dylib

Also for some reason R wasn't able to find its own shared library directory, so download geiger

curl -O https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8859543/geiger_1.4-4.666.tar.gz
tar xvf geiger_1.4-4.666.tar.gz
rm -rf geiger/src/._*     # remove mac os garbage

Edit geiger/src/Makevars (fixing a typo along the way) so it looks like:

PKG_CXXFLAGS = `$(R_HOME)/bin/Rscript -e "Rcpp:::CxxFlags()"`
PKG_LIBS = `$(R_HOME)/bin/Rscript -e "Rcpp:::LdFlags()"` ${BLAS_LIBS} ${FLIBS} -L${R_HOME}/lib

Then try

R CMD INSTALL geiger/

You can also use the compiled binary package in R

curl -O https://raw.github.com/gist/4211495/geiger_1.4-4.666.tgz
R CMD INSTALL geiger_1.4-4.666.tgz

geiger_1.4-4.666.tgz
