In this part of the session, it appears that you are trying to install
packages on from source. For this you need a working setup as explained
in the R for Mac OS X Faq. In particular, you need to install the
developer tools that comes in an additional CD (if you bought parnther
aka 10.3) or you should download it from the apple developer site
(again, detail sin the FAQ).
