Oops --- still have problems building R from source.

<SNIP>

Anyone have any ideas as to what I need to do to o'erleap *this* hurdle?

You still seem to have /sw/include and /sw/lib active.

On my Snow Leopard 10.6.3 libSM.dylib is in /usr/X11/lib.

Not ``still'' actually; ``again''.  I found that when I had /sw moved
aside there were a couple or three utilities (dos2unix; aspell) that I
like to use, that were gone.

So I reinstalled fink, thinking that it was a ***broken*** fink that was
causing problems, so if I reinstalled it, it wouldn't be broken any more
and all would be well.

And things went well up to this point ....

Is there any way that I can keep /sw around and tell ``make'' not to use it?
Or something like that.  (Please be monosyllabic!!! :-) )

mv /sw /sw.notused

and edit your Bash .profile to NOT source the init script of Fink (If I remember correctly).
Because that's how the Fink include and lib paths are activated and how Fink modifies your PATH. (I think).

Tried that.  And I get

make[3]: *** No rule to make target `/sw/include/iconv.h', needed by `sysutils.o'.  Stop.
make[2]: *** [R] Error 2
make[1]: *** [R] Error 1
make: *** [R] Error 1

So somehow it is still looking for /sw even though I moved /sw aside and took the call to
the init script out (of my .cshrc, actually).

Any other ideas?  Sorry for all the bother.

	cheers,

P. S. Moreover, having moved /sw to /sw.local, I cannot get, e.g., aspell to work
even though I put /sw.local explicitly into my path.  Aaarrrggghhhh!!!
