See the comment in NEWS. We know MacOS X does not currently build *on some installations* unless vecLib is installed (see R-admin.texi).

R-devel needs the ability to make dynamic libraries including Fortran code, and MacOS X seems to have troubles doing that. Using vecLib this is avoided, and it seems to work out of the box, and without it seems to need a recent compiler (but Jan de Leeuw has built it). -- Brian D.
