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

Fri May 16 11:59:36 CEST 2008

What version are your Xcode tools?  What X11 do you have installed (I see 
/sw/include in your path, and that is not normally needed)?

Although configure says to report here, it is reporting a bug in your OS, 
not in R.  There will be more information in your config.log, (and perhaps 
some of it useful).

Where did all those gcc flags come from?  I don't see them in 'R 
Installation and Administration'. Perhaps leaving them off might solve the 
problem.
