[R] error message from building R in Mac

[Fang-Yi Chiou]

Following the instruction in R website and downloading gcc and g77, I  
am trying to configure and build R in my Mac laptop, but got some  
error message that I do not know how to resolve.  Do any of you know  
how to solve this problem?

After type  ./configure, I got the following message.
