[R-SIG-Mac] Compiling R-2.9.1 from the source

[Benilton Carvalho]

I just tried R-patched and the same problem happens.

libiconv is available too:

bcarvalh$ ls -l /usr/lib/libiconv*
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel       16 Feb 21  2008 /usr/lib/libiconv. 
2.4.0.dylib -> libiconv.2.dylib
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  4147008 Nov 24  2007 /usr/lib/libiconv. 
2.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel       20 Feb 21  2008 /usr/lib/ 
libiconv.dylib -> libiconv.2.4.0.dylib
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel      795 Feb 19  2008 /usr/lib/libiconv.la

On R-2.8.1, which I compiled from the source a while back, here's what  
I get:

bcarvalh$ otool -L ~/bin/R-2.8.1/lib/libR.dylib | grep iconv
	/usr/lib/libiconv.2.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current  
version 7.0.0)

And I also have Xcode 3.1.2.

Thank you very much for your attention and time,
