Problem installing R packages

Hi,

I am trying to install the R libraries "rmutil" and "repeated" on a Mac OS
X version 10.4.1 (which has the latest version of the Mac Developer tools
installed) and I am having trouble compiling the libraries.

The error message I receive is as follows (I have only included the error
message when I try and install the rmutil library):

............................


* Installing *source* package 'rmutil' ... ** libs gcc-3.3 -no-cpp-precomp
-I/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/include -I/usr/local/include

entries in non-writable section (__TEXT,__text) for symbols: restFP saveFP
make: *** [rmutil.so] Error 1 ERROR: compilation failed for package
'rmutil'

......................

I contacted Jim Lindsey (the package author) who wasn't able to suggest a
solution. Hence, does anyone have an idea what could be causing this error
or does anyone have a Mac binary for these libraries?

Thanks,

John Marioni

What Fortran compiler (g77) are you using, obtained from where?  See

http://www.astro.gla.ac.uk/users/norman/note/2004/restFP/

Your lines are wrapped in ways that make parsing impossible, but my guess 
at the link line does not include -lcc_dynamic.

See also the list archives, e.g.

http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/05/06/7345.html

and of course the r-sig-mac list for the mysteries of MacOS X.  People 
seem to be moving to gcc4/gfortran on that platform.
