Yes I usually build from source, and don't install, along the lines of
mkdir src && cd src && \
svn co https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk R-devel && \
R-devel/tools/rsync-recommended && \
cd ..
mkdir -p bin/R-devel && cd bin/R-devel && \
~/src/R-devel/configure && \
make -j
and immediate
Off topic, but I am curious how you maintain the parallel installs in your home
directory given the Mac binary package's proclivities to dump things into
/Library/Frameworks/? Do you compile from source, with appropriate --prefix
to keep your installation sandboxed in ~/bin?
