Hi,

I have encountered the same problem as the original poster, Andrew, 
even when matching C and fortran compiler versions. I have tried both 
gcc-3.3 with g77 (version 3.4.3) via
    ./configure CC=gcc-3.3
and gcc 4.0.0 with gfortran (version 4.0.2) via
    ./configure FC=gfortran
but both resulted in the same error
    Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) :
            unable to load shared library 
'/R-2.4.0/library/tools/libs/tools.so':
      dlopen(/R-2.4.0/library/tools/libs/tools.so, 6): Symbol not found: _z_abs
      Referenced from: /R-2.4.0/lib/libRblas.dylib
      Expected in: flat namespace
    Execution halted

I don't want to claim this is a bug, but to point out that matching 
(major) versions of compilers does not cure the problem.

Best wishes, Max

Max,

can you send me the detail about you setup, please? (most importantly  
OS X version and platform). Also quite helpful would be the last page  
of the confgure output.

The error above looks familiar from times when BLAS parameters had to  
be specified at configure time. Depending on your cctools, you may  
not be able to use the new system, so possibly you have to use  ./ 
configure  --with-blas='-framework vecLib' --with-lapack

Cheers,
Simon
