[R-SIG-Mac] Error when trying to compile R-devel

[cstrato]

Dear Simon,

Thank you for your reply, I have now installed "R-devel-48594.dmg" and 
my package passed "R CMD check" w/o problems.

Nevertheless, I would be interested to know why I could not compile the 
source.
The problem appears when trying to buid package "tcltk".  What does "for 
architecture x86_64 object: /usr/local/lib/libtk8.5.dylib malformed 
object (unknown load command 7) mean?

Best regards
Christian
