Hi,

I am trying to install R 2.1 from source on a Mac 10.2.8, Darwin Kernel 
Version 6.8

According to the FAQ at  
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/RMacOSX-FAQ.html

I proceeded in the following manner:

>  ./configure --with-blas='-framework vecLib' --with-lapack --with-aqua

This resulted in the following message:


> R is now configured for powerpc-apple-darwin6.8
>
>   Source directory:          .
>   Installation directory:    /Library/Frameworks
>
>   C compiler:                gcc  -g -O2
>   C++ compiler:              g++  -g -O2
>   Fortran compiler:          g77  -g -O2
>
>   Interfaces supported:      X11, aqua, tcltk
>   External libraries:        readline, BLAS(generic), LAPACK(in blas)
>   Additional capabilities:   PNG, JPEG, MBCS, NLS
>   Options enabled:           framework, R profiling
>
>   Recommended packages:      yes

make then gives me the following error message:

....

Could anyone give me a hint how to work around this?

Best,

Georg

P.S. I am on digest mode, cc´ing to me directly would be highly 
appreciated
