[R-SIG-Mac] Error when trying to compile R-devel

[cstrato]

Dear Simon,

Thank you, I have now done:

$ ./configure --with-blas='-framework vecLib' --with-lapack --with-ICU 
CC="gcc -arch i386 -std=gnu99" CXX="g++ -arch i386" OBJC="gcc -arch i386 
-std=gnu99" F77="gfortran -arch i386" FC="gfortran -arch i386"
$ make

However, the error remains the same. At the moment it does not matter 
since I have installed your binary.

Best regards
Christian
