I think the problem is, that the binaries are for OS 10.4.x = "Tiger",
they don't work on 10.3.y = "Panther". So this tip won't help. Two month
ago I also tried to compile the new R version (2.5.0 then) on Panther
without success. So I am still hanging around with R 2.4.1. :-(

Just a guess, as I have no idea what's really going on: The compilation
fails making lapack stuff. Now, since lapack is a Fortran 77 package the
problem might have something to do with this?! (My compilation also
failed at this point.)
