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)

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
