Hello! I recently upgraded to Leopard, and discovered that I could no longer build Fortran sources using R CMD SHLIB. No problem, I thought: upgrade Xcode and R. However, the R installer fails while trying to install gfortran. Here's the last bit of the installer log:

Jan 7 15:40:54 elf150 Installer[544]: 'Install Failed' UI displayed message:'The Installer could not install some files in "/". Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.'. I also tried installing the gfortran from http://r.research.att.com/gfortran-4.2.1.dmg , but it failed in the same way. What could the problem be?
