R help - Feb 2004 - Error Installing dse Package

Hi there,

I ran into some trouble trying to install the dse library on os 10.3 
with RAqua as the installation of the dse1 package failed. On the R 
console I got the error message

Warning message:
Installation of package dse had non-zero exit status in: 
install.packages(ui.pkgs, CRAN = getOption(where), lib = 
.libPaths()[1])
 >

and the console of the os x said

gcc -bundle -flat_namespace -undefined suppress -L/usr/local/lib -o 
dse1.so dsefor.o  -L/usr/local/lib 
-L/usr/local/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin6.6/3.4

make: *** [dse1.so] Error 1
ERROR: compilation failed for package 'dse1'

The two packages setNRG and tFrame seemed to install fine since they 
both show up as loadable packages in RAqua.

Any help definitely appreciated !!!

Tanks very much,
michael

This seems to be a common symptom when packages fail to build under RAqua,
but I don't know what causes it.
