Compiling R-2.9.1 from the source
Why not try to compile R-patched, aka 2.9.2 RC? It works for me on Mac OS X, but then 2.9.1 did too?

Hi, I was hoping to be to able to compile R-2.9.1 from the source as I've always done. './configure' always worked nice, but now it fails to find 'iconv', which is installed:
But is libiconv? It is the C function that it is not finding, not the executable. (It might be part of Xcode: both my Macs have Xcode 3.1.2 on, so I can't tell.) E.g. tystie% otool -L ~/R/R-patched/lib/i386/libR.dylib | grep iconv /usr/lib/libiconv.2.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.0.0)
bcarvalh$ which iconv /usr/bin/iconv bcarvalh$ iconv --version iconv (GNU libiconv 1.11) Copyright (C) 2000-2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Here's what I get with ./configure checking iconv.h usability... yes checking iconv.h presence... yes checking for iconv.h... yes checking for iconv... no checking for iconvlist... no configure: error: --with-iconv=yes (default) and a suitable iconv is not available I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.8... any ideas on what I may be missing? Or suggestions on what to report in order to try to find the source of the problem? Thank you very much, benilton
