I have been having similar problems trying to compile R 1.7.1 in OS X
10.2.6 with no success. If you really want to use R just use the Fink
package installer and install the "r-base" package ( R 1.7.0). You
might like to get in touch with the package maintainer (check package
info at the Fink website) before you spend more time trying to compile
it in your machine :-)
