building R-devel on Panther

I have also been having some trouble building R-devel on Panther.
Using,

./configure --with-blas='-framework vecLib' --with-lapack --with-aqua

produces lots of warnings about multiple definitions of symbols, e.g.

ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _zlibVersion
/usr/lib/libz.1.dylib(zutil.o) definition of _zlibVersion
../../../bin/libR.dylib(zutil.o) definition of _zlibVersion
ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _BC
/usr/local/lib/libreadline.4.3.dylib(terminal.so) definition of _BC
/usr/lib/libncurses.5.dylib(lib_termcap.o) definition of _BC

and then dies with:

make[4]: *** [R_aqua.so] Error 1
make[3]: *** [R] Error 2
make[2]: *** [R] Error 1
make[1]: *** [R] Error 1
make: *** [R] Error 1

On the other hand,


./configure --enable-R-shlib --with-blas='-framework vecLib' --with-lapack

seems to make and install fine.  R 1.8.1 built on this machine (a G5) --with-aqua
so I'm a little mystified.  Any suggestions on things to check would be most
welcome.

This is no problem. R does not use the Apple provided
zlib, but the dynamic linker looks there first. The second
warning would probably go away if you recompiled
readline in /usr/local (because Apple did not provide
ncurses until Panther). Anyway, there are no conflicts.

This, of course, is a problem. Try a completely clean
install. And then it may be interesting what happens
just before this.
