[Phylobase-devl] Fwd: [site-Support][125] mac binary is missing many directories, files

[Marguerite Butler]

Hello,

The mac binaries are still broken. I have reported this issue to R- 
forge and checked the log files (you can see it on the R forge  
package page after logging in as developer).

There seems to be a problem in the configure script that is not  
working for the mac binaries. (although it works on my machines, it  
does not on the r-forge compiler). Does anyone know how to fix this?

A kind person looked at the build log and noticed this:
----
This was a recurrent message:

rm: conftest.dSYM: is a directory

hinting that perhaps there is something strange in your config file?
----
