[R] Fwd: Re: Problem installing R packages

[Prof Brian Ripley]

What Fortran compiler (g77) are you using, obtained from where?  See

http://www.astro.gla.ac.uk/users/norman/note/2004/restFP/

Your lines are wrapped in ways that make parsing impossible, but my guess 
at the link line does not include -lcc_dynamic.

See also the list archives, e.g.

http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/05/06/7345.html

and of course the r-sig-mac list for the mysteries of MacOS X.  People 
seem to be moving to gcc4/gfortran on that platform.
