[R-SIG-Mac] gfortran error: unrecognized command line option "-arch"

[Markus Baden]

Hi again,

I want to apologize for posting my question prematurely to the list. I  
have been able to find the problem. R tried to compile using the  
gfortran of my fink distribution which came with gcc 4.3. Linking  
gfortran instead to the compiler provided by the R-2.7.0.dmg (/usr/ 
local/bin/gfortran-4.2) which is version 4.2 solved the problem.

Now the packages install correctly.

Sorry again,

Markus
