Issue resolved. I was unaware of the ~/.R/Makevars file, which indeed was specifying the wrong gfortran compiler. To build the fields package correctly, I needed to specify the correct compiler and architecture in that file, as:
F77=/usr/local/bin/gfortran-4.2 -arch x86_64 Interesting that the .R/Makevars would override Makevars specified as arguments to install.packages(). Is this correct behavior? Thanks to Davor Cubranic and Professor Ripley for help on this matter.
