R-1.9.0 will not compile on Apple OSX (Darwin kernel 7.3.0).  The error msg
starts as follows, and has several more errors.

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.

What can I say ? Do not use fink. Use -framework vecLib
instead of Atlas. See Stefano's page.

Please, at least tell us which configure options you used and tools' 
versions.
