Tried it but didn't fix it.

I would be most grateful if you could do this

I could probably figure this out because I already have xcode installed.

$ ls /usr/local/lib/libfortran.2.dylib
ls: /usr/local/lib/libfortran.2.dylib: No such file or directory

$ ls /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.13/Resources/lib/libfortran.2.dylib
ls: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.13/Resources/lib/libfortran.2.dylib: No such file or directory

but

$ ls /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.13/Resources/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.13/Resources/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib

is libgfortran.2.dylib the correct library to which I should link?
