[R] Building binary package fails because of missing dependent package

[Hans-Peter Suter]

On an (Intel Leopard) Mac I try to build a package (mxFinance) which
depends on another package (mxGraphics). The dependendy is 1) a
'Depends:' in DESCRIPTION and 2) an import in NAMESPACE.

- The build fails if the dependent package (mxGraphics) is not
installed in the R.framework

Do I need to have installed all packages which are required by
packages to be built binary (source builds are ok)?

Cheers,
Hans-Peter
