[R] installing packages on OS X -- lgfortran problem

[Stefanie Hartmann]

I am trying to install two packages that are not available at CRAN  
(rmutil, dna). When trying the R CMD INSTALL with either file, I get  
an error message that ends with

/usr/libexec/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/libtool: can't locate file  
for: -lgfortran
/usr/libexec/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/libtool: file: -lgfortran  
is not an object file (not allowed in a library)

Can anyone please help?
I have R 2.6 on a Macbook running 10.4.10. I have installed XCode 2.5.

A complete error message is given below.

Thank you!

Stefanie
