this is somewhat strange. Anyway, I have commited at patch to trunk to build 
without R_data_class (which is not a formally declared function in the R 
headers, but should still be accessible). Could you test that? Perhaps it 
could be added to the 0port file for 0.6.1 as a patch.

I'm not sure, but I would guess so. I think the safest bet is to use whichever 
compiler was used to build R (as you have done, AFAICS). In future versions, 
perhaps we could allow separate compilation of the backend (which will come in 
handy, once we add support for a remote backend), and then it should be 
possible to use different compilers for the frontend, and for the backend.

Well, the timing of all this mac trouble is unfortunate, but I don't think we 
can push back on the release date, by any significant amount, as RKWard 0.6.0 
will be broken with R 3.0.0. So that's roughly 24 more hours to fix 
everything...

Thomas
