Hello, The attached file patches the configure script so that the full install path is used in libR.dylib when doing a non-Framework build. I have tested it under 10.5 and 10.6 using the FSF version 4.3 compiler family. Please feel free to include it in R if you think it would be useful.
What is the point of this exercise? R is relocatable until installed, so you cannot embed any paths and configure time and the above patch won't work (also try make install rhome=/foo and see it break). To be precise R won't even care because DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH overrides the path but then the question is why to embed it at all since it is incorrect? Cheers, Simon
