[Rd] Build error on Mac OS X

[Prof Brian Ripley]

The updating of gettext support is currently in mid-progress (and 
specifically what is required for MacOS X).  It looks as if your system 
has another version of gettext installed: please configure R not to use 
such a version for now (see configure --help for how to do so).

Once the update is complete you may be able to use your installed version 
again (although likely it will not be current enough).
