It goes on to list the other common symbols found in libg2c.a.
libg2c.a is a library provided by the g77 libraries.
So I checked out "$ man ld" to find out about this pesky -
multi_module option and also poked around and found some references
to MH_DYLIB and some other interesting options like -undefined.
Particularly, under the heading TWO-LEVEL AND FLAT NAMESPACES, three
paragraphs down we see the default for static link editor is -
twolevel_namespace which requires that all undefined references be
satisfied at static link time. Also, the ability to suppress these
errors is disabled (-undefined suppress).
I assume that what's going on is some of the global variables in /
usr/
local/lib/libg2c.a are defined but not instantiated. So they need to
be explicitly set as externs or set to some default value. Since the
ability to suppress errors isn't available when compiling the
libRlapack.dylib, then it must be changed in libg2c.a....that entails
recompiling gfortran.
I'm not clear on why the same code compiles on 10.4 unless gfortran
4.x. doesn't do this. Anyway, I downloaded the 3.4.2 gcc source and
looked for err.c with f__cblank var declared (the first error):
/usr/local/lib/libg2c.a(err.o) definition of common _f__cblank
(size 4)
It seems there were some major changes in fortran between 3.x and 4.x
as the above variables don't exist and even directory structures are
different. For example, f__cblank and f__cnt don't exist in 4.x. Nor
does the libf2c directory where libg2c.a is compiled in 3.x.
That's a wrap for me today, but I'll try to compile a version of
libg2c.a without the common symbol errors on Monday.
As always, if any developers or those more familiar with the code
base would like to chime in and direct, correct, refute, or suggest.
It'd be very appreciated.

You can find the compiled version of R 2.5.1 for OS 10.4.4 or

compiling myself as I've had pretty bad luck with doing
compilations.
I think the problem is, that the binaries are for OS 10.4.x =
"Tiger",
they don't work on 10.3.y = "Panther". So this tip won't help. Two
month
ago I also tried to compile the new R version (2.5.0 then) on
Panther
without success. So I am still hanging around with R 2.4.1. :-(
Just a guess, as I have no idea what's really going on: The
compilation
fails making lapack stuff. Now, since lapack is a Fortran 77
package the
problem might have something to do with this?! (My compilation also
failed at this point.)

When first seeing the build issues, I wanted to verify that I have
the necessary basic environment. I grabbed the 2.2.1 sources,
which
are the latest version available with a binary for Panther, and
they
compiled without a hitch.
The error appears in the lapack module when building
