[R-SIG-Mac] compile problem on OS 10.4, R-2.1.0

[Byron Ellis]

He's gettin' 'em from the same place I am I'm guessing: the tarballs.  
It looks like blowing out my /usr/local and going back to the Panther  
g95 have solved all my problems for the time being. Its a shame Apple  
doesn't ship a modern libdb, but I'm guessing there's a licensing  
concern there.
