[R-SIG-Mac]building hmisc/design

[Don MacQueen]

Jan can probably give you the definitive answer...and I might be 
revealing my ignorance!

Looks to me like the key message is this:
   ld: can't locate file for: -lreadline
In other words, libreadline is not being found.

readline can be installed using fink. If you build R from sources, 
then the configure script should find it. Then subsequent 
installations of packages should find it.

If you installed the R that Jan built, then my guess would be that 
something fell through the cracks, and however Jan incorporated 
readline into his build, some packages aren't finding it. If this is 
the case, you can probably work around it by installing readline, and 
then adjusting some environment variable (LD_LIBRARY_PATH ?) to 
include /sw/lib before attempting the package installation.

On the other hand, it could be trickier than that. To explore a bit, try this:

test[37]% which R
/usr/local/bin/R

test[38]% grep LD /usr/local/bin/R
: 
${R_LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${R_HOME}/bin:/sw/lib:/usr/local/lib:/sw/lib:/usr/local/lib:/sw/lib:/usr/local/lib:/sw/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-apple-darwin6.2/3.1:/sw/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-apple-darwin6.2/3.1/../../..:/usr/X11R6/lib:/sw/lib:/sw/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib}
if test -z "${DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH}"; then
   DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="${R_LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"
   DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="${R_LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH}"
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

Note that /sw/lib is present in R's load library path.
