[R] Install RSPerl in Leopard

[Prof Brian Ripley]

This is not the most appropriate list.  But the first answer is that the 
package is not aware of sub-architectures, introduced a while back in R.

The best thing is to follow the posting guide and contact the author: if 
that fails, people on R-sig-mac might be able to walk you through the 
changes needed.  It perhaps is as simple as editing
RSPerl/src/RinPerlMakefile.in to say

include $(R_HOME)/etc$(R_ARCH)/Makeconf

That should fix the first problem.  But

> cc1: error: invalid option ?arch=nocona?

suggests there might be a further problem (for which use R-sig-mac).
