First, this query is best posted to R-SIG-MAC, not R-Help. More info here:

  https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac

Second, the pre-built R binary for OSX that Simon creates already uses 
--enable-R-shilb, so that there is no reason to build from source if that is 
your only issue.

Third, on OSX, there is no /sw by default and it is not clear why you are using 
that configure option, which is the likely source of the error you are getting.

If you really want to build from source, there is information in the R for OSX 
FAQ:

  http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/RMacOSX-FAQ.html

The R Installation and Admin Manual:

  
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Building-from-source-on-_0028Mac_0029-OS-X

and Simon's page:
