[R] Fwd: Re: Problem installing R packages

[J-C. Marioni]

Hi,

I am trying to install the R libraries "rmutil" and "repeated" on a Mac OS 
X version 10.4.1 (which has the latest version of the Mac Developer tools 
installed) and I am having trouble compiling the libraries.

The error message I receive is as follows (I have only included the error 
message when I try and install the rmutil library):

............................

I contacted Jim Lindsey (the package author) who wasn't able to suggest a 
solution. Hence, does anyone have an idea what could be causing this error 
or does anyone have a Mac binary for these libraries?

Thanks,
