[R-sig-Geo] Installing rgeos on Mac OS X 10.4 (was Re: downsampling a lines shapefile?)

I figured it out, at least enough to get rgeos's gSimplify 
function to work, which was my original goal; the stringr 
problem was with 0.2, however I got stringr 0.5 to install 
by changing the minimum version in DESCRIPTION from R2.11 to 
R 2.10. ...

Thanks for the help!

#############
# This is how I got rgeos to install in R GUI on my Intel 
Mac OS X 10.4:
#############


# stringr download source 0.5 from CRAN
# change DESCRIPTION, change R 2.11 to R 2.10
# install with:
install.packages("/Users/nick/Desktop/downloads/stringr", 
"/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/", NULL, 
type='source')

# Update sp to 0.9-91 (manual download from CRAN; my default 
server didn't have it)
remove.packages("sp")

install.packages("/Users/nick/Desktop/downloads/sp_0.9-91.tar.gz", 
"/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/", NULL, 
type='source')





# Manual install of GEOS 3.3

# Download GEOS 3.3 from:
http://www.kyngchaos.com/macosx/build/geos
http://trac.osgeo.org/geos/

./configure
make
sudo make install



# This installs to /usr/local/bin/geo-config which is an 
input to the rgeos install

# To find, in Terminal type:
locate geos-config


# I got a crash based on a missing definition of 
GEOSUnaryUnion_r, so...
# To get rgeos to install,

# delete from rgeos_topology.c this bit (line 33):
================================
#ifdef HAVEUNARYUNION
SEXP rgeos_unaryunion(SEXP env, SEXP obj, SEXP id, SEXP byid ) {
     return( rgeos_topologyfunc(env, obj, id, byid, 
&GEOSUnaryUnion_r) );
}
#endif
================================

# And this from line 35 of init.c
================================
#ifdef HAVEUNARYUNION
     {"rgeos_unaryunion", (DL_FUNC) &rgeos_unaryunion, 4},
#endif
================================


# Then remove failed installs if any
remove.packages("rgeos")

install.packages("/Users/nick/Desktop/downloads/rgeos", 
"/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/", NULL, 
type='source',
configure.args="--with-geos-config=/usr/local/bin/geos-config")


library(rgeos)

# (You may have to remove old .o and .so files from previous 
install attempts...)
