[R-SIG-Mac] path expansion

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

Hi

I have source compile my own version of R on MacOS Tiger.

I have a problem with path.expand and dirname. On Linux and the  
binary version of R
   path.expand("~/foo/")
exapnds to something like
   "/Users/kdh/foo"

On my homebuild I just get
   "~/foo"

I do not have gettext installed.

I assume that this has to do with either gettext or readline, but the  
way I read the FAQ I should not worry about the readline stuff. I do  
a ./configure with    tmp = allocVector(SXP, 1);
   $ ./configure --with-aqua --with-blas=-framework vecLib --with-lapack
   --with-tcl-config=/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/tclConfig.sh
   --with-tk-config=/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/tkConfig.sh
   R_PAPERSIZE=letter F77=g77 TCLTK_LIBS=-framework Tcl -framework Tk  
TCLTK_CPPFLAGS=-I/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Headers -I/Library/ 
Frameworks/Tk.frameworks/Headers

I must have done something obvious wrong, any idea how to fix this?
