build of 1.7.0 fails on OS X

# 
For the first time in a while I tried building R on OS X.

The configure of R-1.7.0 completed, but the build fails with error 
below.  This error was reported in June 2002, but none of the suggested 
fixes resolves the issue for me 
(http://maths.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/02a/4783.html).

Anyone have any suggestions (other than installing the binaries from 
gifi)?

Thanks, Alex Buerkle

This suggests configure was not able to find your dlcompat library or
that it isn't working for some reason.  Checking config.log may give
more info.

I am not sure about this one, but the differences with my  
build/environment are

I use

configure --with-tcl-config=/sw/lib/tclConfig.sh  
--with-tk-config=/sw/lib/tkConfig.sh --enable-R-shlib --with-gnome  
--with-b
las='-framework vecLib' --with-lapack

there is no need to use the CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS

Also, for what it's worth, I use gcc/g77 version 1175 (which I think  
came with the December Developer Tools).

Make sure you dont have dlcompat from darwinports or opendarwin sitting  
in /usr/local/lib or /opt/lib

One thing you can do is mask /usr/local during config and build (by  
renaming to /usr/local/tmp) and
unmask before the install.

Also make sure you do a clean install (make distclean in any previous  
build).

Thanks for the replies.

The problem was that the fink package dlcompat-dev was not installed.  
I think the critical file that it contains is /sw/include/dlfcn.h  
(maybe /sw/lib/libdl.a).

I use fink, so dlcompat-dev is required, in addition to the packages 
dlcompat and dlcompat-shlibs.

Apparently ./configure tests for some aspect of dlcompat that was 
present without dlcompat-dev and proceeds, even though dlfcn.h is not 
present and is necessary for compiling.  Perhaps it is the absence of 
/sw/lib/libdl.a that causes the build to fail.

Anyway, seems like configure should fail in this case and that this is 
a bug in the build process.  Is that correct?

FYI, here are the parts of the different packages:
