I just tried R-patched and the same problem happens.

libiconv is available too:

bcarvalh$ ls -l /usr/lib/libiconv*
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 16 Feb 21 2008 /usr/lib/libiconv. 2.4.0.dylib -> libiconv.2.dylib -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 4147008 Nov 24 2007 /usr/lib/libiconv. 2.dylib lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 20 Feb 21 2008 /usr/lib/ libiconv.dylib -> libiconv.2.4.0.dylib
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel      795 Feb 19  2008 /usr/lib/libiconv.la

On R-2.8.1, which I compiled from the source a while back, here's what I get:

bcarvalh$ otool -L ~/bin/R-2.8.1/lib/libR.dylib | grep iconv
/usr/lib/libiconv.2.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.0.0)

And I also have Xcode 3.1.2.

Thank you very much for your attention and time,

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
