I actually seem to have a veclib problem. I have just upgraded to Lion from 
Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro 15'', medio 2009 and done a fresh install of 
R 2.13.1 and the latest gfortran 4.2.3 from att.research. Unfortunately I am 
not able to make a reproducible example of the problem without my own package 
which is not on CRAN (yet). The problem is only present when I use vecLib and 
not when using the reference Blas (I also checked on Linux and Win and it 
worked fine). I had no problems under Snow Leopard. Here are the details: I 
install by R CMD INSTALL without errors but when I try to load the package by 
library(civecm) I get

Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : 
  unable to load shared object 
'/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.13/Resources/library/civecm/libs/
	x86_64/civecm.so':
  
dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.13/Resources/library/civecm/
libs/x86_64/civecm.so, 6): Library not loaded: libRblas.dylib

/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.13/Resources/library/civecm/libs/
x86_64/civecm.so
  Reason: image not found
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'civecm'

The civecm.so exists and is created from Fortran code using both BLAS and 
Lapack subroutines. Any help is appreciated and I hope I have included the 
relevant information.
