[R-SIG-Mac] mgcv doesn't compile

[Stefano Iacus]

One user reports something similar to me.
It seems like you are using gcc from fink while RAqua is configured to 
use Apple's gcc + g77 from khanna (see http://www.economia.unimi.it/R/ )
You should not directly update that package as it come from base 
distribution.
BTW, if you prefer to use fink stuff, you should better build RAqua 
from the R sources and install it with make install-aqua. Then all 
whould work fine.

Let me know
