Howdy,

I am attempting to install the fields_6.7.6 package under R-3.0.0 on OS X 
10.7.5.  I think the install process is calling the wrong gfortran compiler.  
The compiler being called is /usr/local/gfortran/bin/gfortran, which is "GNU 
Fortran (GCC) 4.4.0 20090321 (experimental) [trunk revision 144983]".  I've 
installed the gfortran-4.2.3.pkg package from 
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/tools/gfortran-4.2.3.pkg.

The /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.0/Resources/etc/Makeconf file 
specifies:

FC = gfortran-4.2 -arch x86_64
and
F77 = gfortran-4.2 -arch x86_64

The text output from install.packages() shows lots of -c compilation using this 
wrong gfortran, then attempts to link with llvm-gcc-4.2.  The linking step 
complains about the .o files being architecture i386, which is probably wrong 
output from the gfortran-4.4.0 compiler:

> /usr/local/gfortran/bin/gfortran   -fPIC  -g -O2  -c sortm.f -o sortm.o

There's no Makefile in the fields package, so FC and F77 are not being 
overridden by the package itself, I believe.  The FC and F77 variables from R's 
Makeconf are not being respected, and I've tried to specify alternative 
gfortran compilers with syntax like:


install.packages("fields",type="source",repos="http://cran.us.r-project.org",clean=TRUE,configure.vars=list(F77="gfortran-4.2
 -arch x86_64",FC="gfortran-4.2 -arch x86_64"))

Nothing I do seems to tell the fields package to use the proper gfortran 
compiler.  I have no environment variables like FC or F77 defined.  I have to 
admit that I do have four different gfortran versions installed on this 
machine:  in addition to the R pkg version and the gfortran-4.4.0, there's a 
fink /sw/bin/gfortran 4.6.2, and a /usr/bin/gfortran-4.2 which claims to come 
from Apple (GNU Fortran (GCC) 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5566)).  I'm up to date 
with Xcode.

Any advice about how to do this correctly would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Andy
