[Rd] R 2.5.0 MAC OS X version

[Recai Yucel]

Right. I thought the problems might be obvious enough for MAC users, 
probably not!
I was mistaken with the GNU Fortran version, it is 4.0 as seen below. A 
specific example where I had problems is given below:

When I try to install a package called lmm (which was installed with no 
problem with the previous versions of R), I get the following messages, 
specifically on the make, chmod, etc.
