[R-SIG-Mac]building R 1.6.1 under 10.2.2 on a G3 Mac

[David Firth]

Has anyone succeeded in building R 1.6.1 from source under
Mac OS 10.2.2 on a G3 Mac?  If so, I would welcome any tips.

I have a G3 iBook with newly installed OS 10.2.2 and fully
up to date Apple Developer Tools.  Newly installed fink,
set up to look in the "unstable" package tree.  And newly
installed versions (from fink) of dlcompat, ncurses, g77,
tcltk, etc, etc.

When running configure on the R sources I get the following error:

[nuff-pingo:~/R/R-1.6.1] david% ./configure --with-x --with-tcltk 
--with-tcl-config=/sw/lib/tclConfig.sh 
--with-tk-config=/sw/lib/tkConfig.sh CPPFLAGS="-I/sw/include" 
LDFLAGS="-L/sw/lib/"

....(snip)

-lreadline -ldl -lncurses -lm -lg2c -lcc_dynamic -lSystem

configure: error: linking to Fortran libraries from C fails

Can anyone suggest how I might overcome this?
