[Rd] Fwd: makeconf issue on R-devel 2006-03-12 r37524

[roger koenker]

For what it is worth, I've just installed R-alpha Version 2.3.0 alpha  
(2006-04-07 r37668)
on my G5 and encountered the same problem reported below.  The same  
treatment
got  things going again.  If this reflects some idiosyncrasy in my  
setup,  my apologies....
