R-1.9.0 won't compile on OSX (PR#6848)
I don't think this is a bug in *R*, especially as you appear to be using the unreleased gcc 3.4! Hint: there needs to be a dynamic library for libg2c, not a static one. If there is not, that's a g77 on MacOS X problem, which at one time (gcc 3.1) we had to overcome by using vecLib. See the R-admin manual which says ./configure --with-blas='-framework vecLib' --with-lapack --with-aqua The first two options are strongly recommended. Did you actually follow that advice? You appear to be trying to use atlas, and there is advice about needing a PIC version for that to work.
