Jeff,

Perhaps you have a gfortan lurking around from Xcode 3.1.  You'll need
to replace that w/ the version from CRAN.

Issues related to Snow Leopard have cropped up a bit on the list the
last couple weeks.  It might be worthwhile to look for some of Simon
Urbanks message over the last month or so.  He provided some detailed
step by steps for making sure your system has the right tools.
