[R] Problems installing GRASS package

Please send such problems, with solution, to the package maintainers.

They do not occur generally and seem to be due to the system headers on 
your particular system.  Only users of `FreeBSd' will be able to 
troubleshoot, i.e. you.

In this particular case, I think the package needs to use its own headers
only if the system ones are not available (via a configure test), and
suggest you try deleting GRASS/src/include/rpc.  (Roger: the zlib.h and
zconf.h are also worrying, as they might mismatch the libz used.)

There is no R 2.0 and no `source port'.  There are sources of R 2.0.0.
