[R-SIG-Mac] bug in R.app GUI 1.40 for Mac when running R (Under development (unstable)

[William Revelle]

Simon,
   As usual, you are right.

It was that I could not get the compiled version of mvtnorm and so 
had downloaded the source.  Because I did not have the correct 
fortran compiler, I could not compile it, so I tried using the 
compiled version from 2.13.  That works for RStudio and R under X11, 
but does not work for R.app Gui (for R unstable).

Following your instructions at the att site (finally), I downloaded 
the GNU Fortran 4.2.4 for Mac OS X 10.6  compiler, downloaded the 
source for mvtnorm,  compiled it, and everything works.

Thanks for the patience, sorry for the noise.

Bill
