[R-SIG-Mac] Problem upgrading to R version 2.10.0.

[Rolf Turner]

First I downloaded the Mac binary from CRAN, but when I double clicked
on install icon it told me ``Couldn't open "R-2.10.0.pkg". This package
type requires Mac OS X 10.5.''

I guess I don't have 10.5.

(None of the information that I can extract from my machine refers to
``MAC OS X 10.x''; it only refers to apple-darwin<whatever> --- and
there never appears to be any information as to the connection between
the different forms of referent.)

Anyhow, I then decided to try to roll my own.  (This has worked in the
past.)  I downloaded the tar file of R 2.10.0, did ./configure and make.
It went about its business for a while and then stopped with an error  
message.
The tail end of the screen output is:

I haven't a clue what to do about this.  And so I'm stuck.  I'd  
really like to be using
the latest version of R, but I seem to be thwarted at every turn.   
Can anyone help me out?

	cheers,
