[R-SIG-Mac] Lapack errors on Mac but not on Linux

[David Winsemius]

Dear listeRs;

I have been using the CRAN repositories and building new packages from  
source using the GUI Package Installer. No real problems. Sometimes  
the dependencies are not entirely clear but reading the error messages  
has so far allowed me to build everything I have attempted except  
rattle, RGobi, and  Gtk2. Am I supposed to be able to see the binaries  
in the R.research.att.com repository? I get this message when  
attempting to use the "Other repository" choice with the default entry  
offered by the 64 bit R.app.

Warning: unable to access index for repository http://R.research.att.com/bin/macosx/universal/contrib/2.8
