[R] Installation help (saveload.c)

Thank you, Dr. Ripley.

After I sent my request for help, one of our system administrators 
also told me that the gcc installation is old. He also pointed me to 
a host with (he says!) the latest version. We have a rather 
heterogenous network here, with Sun hosts at three different OS 
versions, as well as SGIs, Macs, and NTs. It's clear this makes an 
extra challenge for me.

I've also started building R for Macintosh OS X, as we have a lot of 
Macs here. I've not got past building f2c, however.

As is evident, I don't have much experience building software 
packages, so I very much appreciate the help.
