Hi Simon, Thanks for the fast response. I downloaded the tar ball and uncompressed it. Then ran the configure script under R-2.5.1 as suggested in the http://r.research.att.com/exp/
I am getting the following messages after the configure script goes on and just before it stalls. >> checking for cblas_cdotu_sub in vecLib framework... -framework vecLib >> checking for dgemm_ in -framework vecLib... yes >> checking whether double complex BLAS can be used... no >> checking whether the BLAS is complete... yes >> checking for zgeev_... yes >> 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 have no idea what iconv is. My apologies if this is a naive question. I am new to Mac and also compiling R from source for the first time. Could you please suggest what should I be doing? I appreciate your help.
