I have also been having some trouble building R-devel on Panther.
Using,
./configure --with-blas='-framework vecLib' --with-lapack --with-aqua
produces lots of warnings about multiple definitions of symbols, e.g.
ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _zlibVersion
This is no problem. R does not use the Apple provided
zlib, but the dynamic linker looks there first. The second
warning would probably go away if you recompiled
readline in /usr/local (because Apple did not provide
ncurses until Panther). Anyway, there are no conflicts.
