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.
