Hi folks, At least with Sage 4.3.1, the build would fail when compiling the Sage library. In Sage 4.3.2.alpha0, R is upgraded to version 2.10.1, which requires iconv as documented in the R release note [1]. On t2.math, the iconv library under /usr/include and /usr/lib is not sufficient for getting R to build. The issue of getting GNU iconv on Solaris is tracked at ticket #3381 [2] and closed as "wontfix". Now that iconv is a requirement for building R, I think there is a strong case for installing GNU iconv on t2.math. With R 2.10.1, one can no longer use the configure options --with-iconv=no and --without-iconv. This not only affects Solaris, but also Mac OS X. For Mac OS X, the following line in the spkg-install of the R spkg
OSXFW="--enable-R-framework=no --with-iconv=no --with-aqua=no"; export OSXFW should be changed to OSXFW="--enable-R-framework=no --with-aqua=no"; export OSXFW Similarly, the following line for Solaris SUN_FLAGS="--with-iconv=no"; export SUN_FLAGS no longer works with R 2.10.1. Thoughts?
