[R] Problem installing rgdal on Mac OS X

[Thomas Adams]

Please forgive me for posting this here if it is not appropriate (where 
should this question be posed?)…

I am attempting to install rgdal (from source, since there is no binary) 
on Mac OS X 10.4.9 on a PowerPC G3 Macintosh. I have R version 2.4.1 
(2006-12-18) installed. Following the install directions suggested at:

http://www.sal.uiuc.edu/tools/tools-sum/rgeo/rgeo-detail/map-packages-on-cran

The Mac OS X Frameworks packages were obtained from: 
http://www.kyngchaos.com/software/unixport

Using R CMD INSTALL in a term window I have:

R CMD INSTALL rgdal_0.5-6.tar.gz 
--configure-args='--with-gdal-config=/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Versions/1.4/Programs/gdal-config 
--with-proj-include=/Library/Frameworks/PROJ.framework/Versions/4.5/Headers 
--with-proj-lib=/Library/Frameworks/PROJ.framework/Versions/4.5/unix/lib'

which produces the following output:

Are there any suggestions? I have tried this on two different machines 
with the same result.
