Thanks, that starts to make sense. You appear to have g77 installed, but not in the place the person who prepared the binary install of R has it.
Where do you have it installed? ('whereis g77' or 'which g77' should tell you.) Then you need to alter FLIBS in R_HOME/etc/Makeconf to point to it. (You can remove -lfrtbegin from FLIBS: it is not needed: your R_HOME looks to be /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.0.1.)
However, I believe there is a more fundamental problem: because libg2c is a static library on current MacOS X, most packages using Fortran cannot be compiled there. That's presumably the case with Hmisc, as the automated package builder is not providing a binary build. (There is supposedly a check directory on CRAN, but it is not there at present.)
pomme:~ jarioksanen$ uname -a
Darwin pomme.local 7.7.0 Darwin Kernel Version 7.7.0: Sun Nov 7 16:06:51 PST 2004; root:xnu/xnu-517.9.5.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh powerpc
pomme:~ jarioksanen$ locate libg2c
/usr/local/lib/libg2c.0.0.0.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libg2c.0.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libg2c.a
/usr/local/lib/libg2c.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libg2c.la
So there are both static and dynamic libg2c's. I don't know of any package management system for Mac, so I don't know who installed these files, but probably it was g77. Probably I got these from http://hpc.sourceforge.net/, though (I try avoid Fink which is a constant source of trouble).
Similarly, the g2c is installed in /usr/local:
pomme:~ jarioksanen$ which g77 /usr/local/bin/g77
I got my g77 from a place pointed to in R-MacOS X FAQs.
I have often seen problems in MacOS with hardcoded paths which assume certain locations for files. Latest problem was that 'rgl' library assumes that 'libpng' to be in a different place that I had it. For instance, Darwin's Fink installs stuff in a unique place called /sw. Perhaps that's the problem? However, ideally MacOS software should work 'jus anywhere' (and 'just work') like they say in ads.
