[R] error compiling packages with r-2.4.0 on ppc mac osx 10.4.7
Hi All, As the subject says, I am working on a powerPC (G4) mac with OSX version 10.4.7. I upgraded from r-2.2.1 to r-2.4.0 today using the universal binary dmg file downloaded from CRAN. This is the complete, not mini binary. The interactive environment works great, but I am having difficulty installing packages that require C code to be compiled. This includes my own packages and I have also tried the Matrix package. It looks like compilation is not the problem, linking is. In particular, when linking object files, every package install dies with this message: /usr/bin/libtool: unknown option character `m' in: -macosx_version_min I use fink and libtool is installed at version 1.5.10. Clearly this looks like a configuration problem with my machine, but I am a bit confused on where to go next. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. cheers, Allan Strand
