[Rd] Configure errors say to report here... (PR#11470)

[adik at ilovebacon.org]

Hi,

 	I'm attempting to compile R 2.7.0 on my G5, which is running OSX
10.5.2. Yes, I know there is a precompiled binary, but my experience has
shown that if I hand-compile ATLAS on my machine and then link R against it
when compiling, R runs faster, hence me compiling it myself.

Anyway, I have this set of errors:

...the command line item I pass to configure is this:

feta:R-2.7.0> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-x --without-R-framework --without-aqua --with-blas="/usr/local/lib/libptf77blas.a /usr/local/lib/libatlas.a" --with-lapack="/usr/local/lib/liblapack.a /usr/local/lib/libptf77blas.a /usr/local/lib/libatlas.a" CFLAGS="-maltivec -mabi=altivec -mtune=970 -faltivec -O3" CXXFLAGS="-maltivec -mabi=altivec -mtune=970 -faltivec -O3"

...the rest of configure completes fine, though when I try to build R, I
make eventually ends up failing in this manner:

...the one reference to a problem like this I could find via google searches
is the post at

http://osdir.com/ml/lang.r.mac/2006-10/msg00016.html

regarding R 2.4.0, which I could not find a response to.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,
