[R-SIG-Mac] problematic MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET

[Christoph Heibl]

Dear list,

after having installed R-2.8.0 on Mac OS 10.4.11, I get an error  
message when I try to install the source of a package (please see  
below). I was trying to find a solution on the web, but my  
understanding of the architecture of Mac OS is to weak to make  
something out of the hints I found. Can someone point me towards an  
easy-understandable solution to the problem? What do I have to change  
exactly and how can I do it?

Thank you in advance!
