Hi Roel,

thanks for providing your feedback. Let's see what we can do:

Indeed. I'll update the instructions in a minute.

Ok, try /opt/local without the "bin":
   cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/local -DR_EXECUTABLE=...
.

I am not quite sure, whether the build might need to have KDE in the
path. So - if the above does not help - try
   export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/lib:$PATH
before running cmake.

Once again, thanks for your feedback, and keep us posted on your success
or failure. I'm really eager to get things to work on the Mac.

Regards
Thomas
