[R-SIG-Mac] error installing MCMCpack from source

[Simon Urbanek]

Thank you for providing us with your error. Is there anything you  
want? In case this was supposed to be a plea for help, 1) check that  
you have all necessary tools (see R for Mac FAQ), 2) check config.log  
to see why it fails and 3) consider using CRAN binary instead of  
trying to compile it from sources yourself.

Cheers,
Simon
