[R] package installation problem

[Robin Hankin]

Hello everyone.


After some very welcome offline advice, I now have the mvtnorm
package working on R-2.3.0; here is my solution for
MacOSX.

There were two problems: first, make could not find gcc-4.0.
To solve this, add the relevant directory to PATH.  For me, this is

PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/gcc4.0/bin/

Now the second problem is that the file for -lgfortran can't be found.
To solve this, add

FLIBS=-L/usr/local/gcc4.0/lib

to the Makevars file.



best wishes


rksh
