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

[Benilton Carvalho]

Hi,

I didn't expect to have anything outside standard locations... but  
looking at config.log, I noticed it was looking for libiconv in /usr/ 
local/lib (strange... but I do have libiconv* files there - I can't  
explain how).

Setting CPPFLAGS and LIBS correctly fixed the problem.

Thank you very much,

b
