Why don't you ask the author for a source package?

But there is a source package on R-Forge ... as at least three people told him that on r-help yesterday. It just compiled and loaded without complaint on OSX 10.5.8 with R 2.11.1.

By (AFAICS) not providing source code for his package he is making life difficult for users. Only on Windows is it reasonably safe to distribute compiled code in DLLs -- everywhere else dynamic linking makes compiled code dependent on the OS version.

However, other changes mean that the version for Windows is not going to work in R >= 2.10.0 (although someone sufficiently persistent could most likely unpick the binary and recreate a version that did work).
