[R] osx/fink: cannot do "R INSTALL" (library mixup)

[Dan Kelley]

Hello friends.  I've just switched from linux to osx, and I'm liking 
it, except now that I'm getting down to brass tacks, and needing to 
install some R packages, I'm at a roadblock.  I'm hoping someone can 
help.

My R is installed from a .dmg, and resides as follows:
	$ which R
	/usr/local/bin/R
The problem is that I cannot build packages.  For example, see the 
below (which also indicates that libfrtbegin.a is in the
	/sw
directory, i.e. that it was installed by the FINK setup).  Does anybody 
know how I can solve this problem, e.g. how to alter the
	-L(directory)
  commands that are employed?

(Aside: I looked for a solution on the R archives.  Also, I've tried to 
make my subject-line clear enough that an answer will benefit other 
osx/fink users.  Thanks!!)
