Here's my configure line as found in config.log:
  --with-blas=-framework vecLib --with-lapack --with-aqua F77=gfortran

I built R after upgrading to Tiger and gcc --version reports:

  powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.0 (GCC) 4.0.0 20041026 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 4061)

Did I miss something in the configure line?  I can rebuild in a shell
without the fink stuff --- I'm only using that to be able to install
gnucash, but I think the problem is elsewhere.

Well, I seem to be using gcc4 and if I build Rgraphviz by hand and
remove the -lcc_dynamic, I get a .so and can install the packge and
use it.  So cc_dynamic is not needed; how do I tell R that I don't
need it in the package building process?

How do I do that?

Hmmm, so do I need to do something similar?  (hoping not)
