[R-SIG-Mac] Which gfortran for Leopard?

[cstrato]

Dear Simon,

Thank you for your fast reply.
At the moment I have installed gfortran-4.2.3.dmg from your web-site.

Which package do you mean with gfortran 4.2.4?
- gfortran-42-5646.pkg which requires Snow Leopard, or
- gfortran-4.2-5564-darwin9.tar.gz which I assume that I need to compile 
from source?

Best regards
Christian
