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.)

This must be a problem specific to a certain installation. I regularly build Fortran files into MacOS X binaries. The specification in this machine is:

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

That's not the same Darwin version ... this has certainly been a problem several times in the recent past.
