This is the wrong list: it should have been R-sig-mac.  Please follow up 
there.

It seems you forgot to install gfortran from 
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/tools/ .

I am surmising from your output that this is 2.15.x: the posting guide 
asked for 'at a minimum' information and it does matter, especially with 
binary installation of R (which this appears to be).
