Thanks to all, that was it! Xcode needed to be installed. For those who did not update to snow Leopard, things could be a bit tricky because apple did delete links to previous versions in search engines. On their site, one has to search through their download section.
For snow leopard: version 3.2.1 For leopard : version 3.1.4 did the trick for me. I now can load mprobit in R - I still have to do some testing. Thanks again.
