[R-SIG-Mac] small steps ahead from fink in building R Darwin/X11 port

[Stefano Iacus]

If you want to have a g77 not coming from fink you can try to install 
g77 3.1 from

http://gravity.psu.edu/~khanna/hpc.html

I can build a clean R (both 1.7.0 and today patched R) without having 
anything from fink installed (I remove /sw directory from my system).

I've also installed dlcompat as I wrote in a previous msg:

from http://www.opendarwin.org/projects/dlcompat/

     use the following to configure/install

   make clean
   ./configure --enable-fink
   make

Configuring R with

./configure --enable-R-shlib --with-blas='-framework vecLib' 
--with-lapack


gives you the following capabilities
