[GRASSLIST:2063] Re: [GRASS5] Mac OSX binary install directions

[Christopher Fonnesbeck]

I'm using AquaR version 1.8 from within both versions 5.0.2 (OpenOSX) 
and 5.7 (CVS). It works perfectly simply by calling /usr/local/bin/R 
from within GRASS, although when I try and run system() commands from 
within GRASS 5.7 I get iconv library version mismatch errors:

 > system("g.list rast")
dyld: g.list version mismatch for library: 
/usr/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib (compatibility version of user: 5.0.0 
greater than library's version: 4.0.0)
