RSPerl on OS X

    jan> libR.dylib is, precisely, because obviously it is a module that must

Jan -

Does libR.so get built during fink's install, then? 

(I noticed a few problems with SJava along those lines, but havn't
traced down all the problems yet... one of these years I'll have
time...).

(on a side note to Jan -- what's the preferred approach for getting
PVM working on OS-X?  Or can one do it?)

best,
