I'm new to the Mac, but have used  R  under Linux for about 15 years. Now

R CMD INSTALL skel_1.0-2.tar.gz

fails with error message
------------------------------------
Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :

----------------------------------

The 'libatlas-MacPro.dylib' seems to be the culprit, but who knows? I
installed it just before this, following Simon's recipe from a post to this
list in October 2010.
skel is a private package which installs under Linux and Windose without
problems.
