Rwave installation problem (PR#1974)

When running install.packages("Rwave") as root, I got this error:

In file included from compinteg.c:12:
kernel.h:22: malloc.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [compinteg.o] Error 1
ERROR: compilation failed for package 'Rwave'

There are 3 header files 'malloc.h' in Mac OS X: one for generic C, one for
Objective-C, and a private one for the OS. The R installation script looks for C
headers in /usr/include, but the actual path to this one is

/usr/include/sys/malloc.h

I worked around the problem by copying the file as indicated, then I deleted the
copy after compiling the package. To fix the bug, the script should be changed
to look for C headers in both /usr/include and /usr/include/sys.

Thanks.
