As I can see from the build path It is my build of gfortran which I  
know that worked at  that time with Xcode 2.1. It doesn't mess with  
Xcode at all, so it is safe to use and even un-install - in fact it  
uses /usr and prefix which is identical to Xcode as you can see, so  
it's compatible. I have just checked today and that build works fine,  
even passes make check with R 2.2.0 given you apply the underscores  
patch I posted. Nevertheless, you're of course free to use more  
recent gfortran.

Cheers,
Simon
