Stefano, This worked. Here is exactly what I did: 1) Upgraded Xcode tools to 2.4.1 from http://developer.apple.com/tools/download/
2) Installed the R 2.4.1 binaries from CRAN (i downloaded the dmg) and followed the default install. 3) I installed gfortan by downloading this http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/hpc/gfortran-intel-bin.tar.gz?download and typing this: sudo tar -xvzf gfortran-intel-bin.tar.gz -C / as described here: http://hpc.sourceforge.net/. 4) Downloaded the R 2.4.1 tar.gz file, untared, made a dir to store the files, and used this configure and make: ./configure --prefix=/Users/ririzarr/src/R-2.4.1 --with-blas='-framework vecLib' CC=/usr/local/gcc4.0/bin/gcc F77=/usr/local/bin/gfortran make CPPFLAGS=-DNEED_EXTERN_PC R now works and so does ssh and everything else.
