[R-SIG-Mac]build of 1.7.0 fails on OS X

[Alex Buerkle]

For the first time in a while I tried building R on OS X.

The configure of R-1.7.0 completed, but the build fails with error 
below.  This error was reported in June 2002, but none of the suggested 
fixes resolves the issue for me 
(http://maths.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/02a/4783.html).

Anyone have any suggestions (other than installing the binaries from 
gifi)?

Thanks, Alex Buerkle
