[R] ./configure needs /sw/lib?

[Tony Marlboro]

Hello,

	I am using R on Mac OS X.  I have tried to install the package
"netCDF", but have run into a problem.  The install.packages command
fails during a call to the "configure" shell script in the package
build directory, because it cannot find the netCDF libraries on my
system.  Those libraries are installed in /sw/lib, as they were
installed with fink, and this system puts everything in /sw.  

	Either I need a way to give "configure" flags to
install.packages(), or this package is broken.  Note that
/sw/lib/R/etc/Makeconf has all the right build flags.  Is there a
mechanism for handling problems of this nature?

	Many thanks.
