[R] R and OpenBSD

[Ragnar Beer]

Meanwhile I downloaded R-1.1.0.tgz and got the following error in the 
make step:

-----snip-----

I also posted my question to the OpenBSD list and got this reply:

I've looked, briefly. Its configure trips up on matherr. Specifically, it
only does a nm libm.a, finds matherr, and assumes it works. Unfortunately,
OpenBSD namespace is not squeaky clean (yet), and matherr is a private
function of libm: no user-visible prototype, no declaration of struct
exception, and hence failure.

Hope this helps...
