I have libtiff installed from macports, and it is sitting there in /opt/local/lib:
$ ls -l /opt/local/lib/*tiff* -rwxr-xr-x 2 root admin 796684 Jun 4 22:13 /opt/local/lib/libtiff.3.dylib -rw-r--r-- 2 root admin 990296 Jun 4 22:13 /opt/local/lib/libtiff.a lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 15 Jun 4 22:14 /opt/local/lib/libtiff.dylib -> libtiff.3.dylib -rwxr-xr-x 2 root admin 960 Jun 4 22:13 /opt/local/lib/libtiff.la -rwxr-xr-x 2 root admin 35400 Jun 4 22:13 /opt/local/lib/libtiffxx.3.dylib -rw-r--r-- 2 root admin 17280 Jun 4 22:13 /opt/local/lib/libtiffxx.a lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 17 Jun 4 22:14 /opt/local/lib/libtiffxx.dylib -> libtiffxx.3.dylib -rwxr-xr-x 2 root admin 998 Jun 4 22:13 /opt/local/lib/libtiffxx.la $ ls -l /opt/local/include/*tiff* -rw-r--r-- 2 root admin 33813 Jun 4 22:13 /opt/local/include/tiff.h -rw-r--r-- 2 root admin 3020 Jun 4 22:13 /opt/local/include/tiffconf.h -rw-r--r-- 2 root admin 20514 Jun 4 22:13 /opt/local/include/tiffio.h -rw-r--r-- 2 root admin 1706 Jun 4 22:13 /opt/local/include/tiffio.hxx -rw-r--r-- 2 root admin 410 Jun 4 22:13 /opt/local/include/tiffvers.h However, when I try to install rtiff, R is not picking up libtiff: $ R CMD INSTALL ~/Downloads/rtiff_1.4.1.tar.gz * installing to library ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.13/Resources/library’ * installing *source* package ‘rtiff’ ... checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed checking for TIFFOpen in -ltiff... no Error: Could not find libtiff. ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘rtiff’ * removing ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.13/Resources/library/rtiff’ TIFFOpen is in libtiff: $ nm /opt/local/lib/libtiff.dylib | grep TIFFOpen 0000000000030740 T _TIFFOpen So I think the conclusion is that R isn't even looking in /opt/local/lib. Seems like a basic question, but how do I get R to look in /opt/local/{lib|include}?
