R is trying to build a Fortran program, and it needs a Fortran compiler. Fortran compiler does not ship with MacOS X, but you got to get one. See the MacOS FAQ for R. If I remember correctly, it tells you to go http://hpc.sourceforge.net/ for the compiler.I am attempting to install the Hmisc, rreport and Design packages, but am not able to do so. I am running R v1.9.1 on Mac OS 10.3.5.
I get the same error for Hmisc (rreport is not on CRAN). It looks like it is trying to use g77 to compile the source package. How can I change the default compiler? Will this solve the problem? I cannot find a binary version of either package.
Normally I wouldn't remember addresses like this, but just today I had to make a visit there: I had installed g77 using fink, and that puts its stuff into /sw instead of /usr/local. Some R routines had hardcoded the g77 path to /usr/local/bin/g77 and so building a package failed in the false claim of missing g77 (yeah, it was in the path).
