This is not an R bug so please don't abuse R-bugs. It is likely a bug
in the way OpenMx binaries are distributed by someone (you didn't even
say where you got them from) - OpenMx is not even on CRAN so take that
to whoever gave you the binaries. On CRAN we use the correct paths.
Cheers,

When using install.packages in R on Mac OS X, packages that require
gfortran
throws an error (Example below from installation of OpenMx package):
Loading required package: OpenMx
Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :
unable to load shared library
'/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/OpenMx/libs/i386/
OpenMx.so':
dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/OpenMx/libs/
i386/OpenMx.so,
6): Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib
Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/
OpenMx/libs/i386/OpenMx.so
Reason: image not found
libgfortran.2.dylib does exist, but in
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.10/Resouces/lib/
libgfortran.2.dylib
(or /2.9/, depending on version installed).
A workaround at present involves creating a symbolic link from the
above file to
/usr/local/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib, however this requires sudo
access and is
confusing for novice users.
There is more discussion of this bug as it relates to OpenMx at:
http://openmx.psyc.virginia.edu/thread/316
Posts on other forums indicate a similar issue with other packages
including
vegan and lme4:

Those are very old posts and those were temporary issues in the CRAN
build system that have been promptly resolved.
