Building binary package fails because of missing dependent package

On an (Intel Leopard) Mac I try to build a package (mxFinance) which depends on another package (mxGraphics). The dependendy is 1) a 'Depends:' in DESCRIPTION and 2) an import in NAMESPACE. - The build fails if the dependent package (mxGraphics) is not installed in the R.framework Do I need to have installed all packages which are required by packages to be built binary (source builds are ok)?
You *may* have to install them depending on the strength of the dependency - such as in the case you reported below. Uwe Ligges
