[STATSGRASS] Re: Building R GRASS interface for MacOS X 10.3 (Panther)

[Thomas Adams]

Roger,

I do have a fix, thanks to David orme in the UK. Users experiencing the 
same problem should go to http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/ 
download libiconv  and build from sources. I installed libiconv in my 
Fink /sw directory. The R GRASS interface built just fine after doing 
this.

Thanks for your help!

Cheers,
Tom
