Dear Peter many thanks for your reply.
I am new to R (and MAC) but I had no problem to get my MAC to run gcc and gfortran (years of experience on linux). Although I have Parallels and Vmware Fusion installed on my MAC, I am not running windows. I have downloaded rcompression.tar, untared it, /configure and make install. On R, I have issued "library(Rcompression)" and zip is now available on R sessions. > Packages & Data -> Package Installer -> Local source package I could not find the option local source package on MAC.
