[Rd] Compilation issue (PR#9275)

[m.reuter at ucl.ac.uk]

Hi,

I have encountered the same problem as the original poster, Andrew, 
even when matching C and fortran compiler versions. I have tried both 
gcc-3.3 with g77 (version 3.4.3) via
    ./configure CC=gcc-3.3
and gcc 4.0.0 with gfortran (version 4.0.2) via
    ./configure FC=gfortran
but both resulted in the same error
    Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) :
            unable to load shared library 
'/R-2.4.0/library/tools/libs/tools.so':
      dlopen(/R-2.4.0/library/tools/libs/tools.so, 6): Symbol not found: _z_abs
      Referenced from: /R-2.4.0/lib/libRblas.dylib
      Expected in: flat namespace
    Execution halted

I don't want to claim this is a bug, but to point out that matching 
(major) versions of compilers does not cure the problem.

Best wishes, Max
