However, it does not affect library building for R, so reconfiguring will not improve matters. In other words, R uses shared libraries with foreign language packages (C, Fortran code), which is what the error message is implying is a problem. In additino, R can be a shared library itself for other programs, and the -enable-R-shlib enables this.
