[R] repost-configure error on Mandriva 2007

[Bricklemyer, Ross S]

All,

Apparently the attachment did not make it through the list serve.

I am having difficulty installing R-2.4.1 on Mandriva Linux 2007
Discovery.  Thanks to the help of Doug Bates I got further along the
path (Thanks Doug!!).  I now cannot figure out which line of code needs
modified in order for configure to complete.  Please see below for the
last several lines of output.
