[R-SIG-Mac] Problem updating packages in R 2.1.0

[Rob J Goedman]

Hi Michael,

Again, this is a consequence of picking up outdated libraries.
Stefano, Simon and I ran into this one (libintl) about a month ago.
libintl got introduced earlier on (with gettext) but is no longer  
needed.

For others on this mailing list, I would like to emphasize once more
that to build R and R.app on Tiger, with Xcode and X11 installed,
nothing is needed from either /usr/local or /sw **except ** gfortran as
indicated in the 1st item on the Wiki  ( http://wiki.urbanek.info/ 
index.cgi?TigeR ).

The only 2 other installs in /usr/local I've done are svn (to work on  
R.app)
and graphviz (2.2.1 in my case, for Rgraphviz).

To install/update source packages, make the changes outlined in the
2nd item on the TigeR Wiki.

*If* you can live with such a clean version of /usr/local, building R  
and
R.app on Tiger is a breeze.

Rob
