[R-SIG-Mac] Compiling 2.5.1 on OSX Panther

[James Kyle]

Hello all,

I'm attempting to compile R 2.5.1 on OSX Panther and have run into  
some issues. First off, if anyone has a link to a binary build of  
2.5.1 for Panther I have no issue going that route.

-) gcc version 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1666)
-) g77 version 3.4.2
-) ./configure --with-blas='-framework vecLib' --with-lapack  
R_PAPERSIZE=letter F77=g77

When first seeing the build issues, I wanted to verify that I have  
the necessary basic environment. I grabbed the 2.2.1 sources, which  
are the latest version available with a binary for Panther, and they  
compiled without a hitch.

The error appears in the lapack module when building  
libRlapack.dylib. Error output is:
