darwin8 = for Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or higher
darwin89= 32-bit for Mac OS X 10.4 or higher, 64-bit for Mac OS X 10.5 or higher
darwin9 = for Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) or higher
darwin10 = for Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or higher
It is safe to use darwin8 binaries on Mac OX S 10.5 (Leopard). Since R 2.10.1 we do not release darwin8 binaries anymore.
bin4 = quad-arch binary (32-bit and 64-bit, Intel and PPC)
bin3 = tri-arch binary (32-bit PowerPC and Intel, 64-bit Intel)
bin2 = universal binary (darwin8/9: 32-bit only, Intel and PPC; darwin10/11: Intel 32bit + 64-bit)

Install by unpacking to the root, e.g.:

curl -O http://r.research.att.com/libs/gmp-4.2.4-darwin8-bin4.tar.gz
sudo tar fvxz gmp-4.2.4-darwin8-bin4.tar.gz -C /
Most binaries (except for GTK+) live in /usr/local and are static PIC builds (i.e. they can be used in R packages without the need for runtime dylibs).

For more libraries, see the CRAN devpack. Sources for most of the above are available at the project sites or here.

Note (2009/01/15): ggobi binary was modified at the request of the authors to install in /usr/local/ggobi instead of the default /usr/local. CRAN binaries will reflect the change as well. Consequently, you will have to add /usr/local/ggobi/bin to your PATH and if you develop against ggobi /usr/local/ggobi/lib/pkgconfig to your PKG_CONFIG_PATH in order to see ggobi.
