[R] Undefined reference in R-1.5.1 under Mac OS X 10.2.1 Jaguar

[YONEDA Kiyoshi]

Hi

I installed R-1.5.1 on a Mac G4 under OS X 10.2.1 Jaguar, which 
requires X11.
Then I got this while trying to run XDarwin I downloaded from Fink:

---
[YonedaK-mac4:~] yoneda% startx -- -quartz
...
dyld: xterm Undefined symbols:
xterm undefined reference to _tgetent expected to be defined in 
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
xterm undefined reference to _tgetstr expected to be defined in 
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
dyld: xterm Undefined symbols:

/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
xterm undefined reference to _tgetstr expected to be defined in

waiting for X server to shut down Quitting XDarwin...

[YonedaK-mac4:~] yoneda% sudo otool -L /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm

         /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, 
current version 55.0.0)

Now libSystem.B.dylib looks suspicious.
As with R itself I got similar errors:

---

Then I ran across this over the net, in which GHC is the Glasgow 
Haskell Compiler:

So my question is: may I assume that
I just have to wait for a new R binary?
If I'm wrong, please let me know the way around.

Hoping this is not an FAQ
