[R-SIG-Mac] compilation failed for package Design

Wed Mar 3 22:11:21 MET 2004

As a point of comparison only, I have R installed from source code on 
an OS X Mac (10.2.8), namely

>  version
          _                       
platform powerpc-apple-darwin6.8.5
arch     powerpc                 
os       darwin6.8.5             
system   powerpc, darwin6.8.5    
status   Patched                 
major    1                       
minor    8.1                     
year     2004                    
month    01                      
day      12                      
language R
>

my configure arguments were
     --enable-R-shlib --with-blas=-framework vecLib --with-lapack

With that configuration, Design did install without the error 
Christof reported, albeit with warnings from ld.
Removing "-lfrtbegin" (what it's for I don't know) was not necessary.
