  Use --without-iconv (or compile 64-bit libiconv from Apple sources if  
  you know how). Tiger has 32-bit iconv only, so you have either to  
  disable iconv support or to get the 64-bit version.

Hi Simon,

Would you be able to give more guidance on how to compile 64-bit
libiconv for Tiger, or is it possible for you to package the
64-bit libiconv you built?

I can compile 64-bit R using the  --without-iconv Switch,
but 
make check
fails when the R iconv() function is encountered in the
make check tests.

I see this warning after running configure:
configure: WARNING: --with-iconv=no is deprecated and will be withdrawn shortly

So 64-bit libiconv apparently will soon be required?



Best regards
