1. I am up to date with darwin ports:

shiney:~ jim$ port version
Version: 1.012

2. I noticed that when I first did `sudo install port R` yesterday,  
it built a version of gcc (gcc-dp-3.4), so it must not be using the  
osx gcc 3.3 by default.  `port variants R` returns:

darwin_6
macosx

so it might be that we need to run `sudo port install R +macosx` to  
force usage of the built in gcc-3.3.  However, When I tried this, I  
got the same error as in 3 below (for the non-variant port).

3. I tried adding -lcc_dynamic to the LDFLAGS, but it still did not  
build.  It now fails with:
