I believe it was /usr/pkgsrc/math/R that asked me to set the parameter in mk.comf
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Not sure, I have not tried to build R with pkgsrc-2010Q1. But I was able to bootstrap by removing USE_LANGUAGES from mk.conf.

 USE_LANGUAGES is a package setting, not a mk.conf setting; nothing
 should be telling you to add it to mk.conf, and unless you've been
 tinkering with a package or preparing a new one, warnings suggesting
 that you might want to add it to the *package* makefile can almost
 always be ignored.

 indeed, I didn't realize I had left the pkgsrc.org domain
 when I filed the pr.

 okay, probably I was only told to add fortran to the variable
 USE_LANGUAGES

 I don't know where to go with this... just thought there was a
 problem because pkgtools/digest failed to build with USE_LANGUAGES
 set.

 If all is okay, feel free to close.

 oops, a new way the web site can be confusing. We (meaning NetBSD)
 ought to figure out how to make this clearer, I guess. Do you remember
 what path you took?

 Maybe these messages should be disabled except when PKG_DEVELOPER is
 set?

 Yeah, that isn't a problem. But I'd like to figure out how to adjust
 things so it's clearer next time -- if you have any suggestions,
 please let me/us know, here or in separate PRs.

 http://pkgsrc.org/

 -> Support
 Problem Reports
 -> Send a bug report online
 -> Send PR

 ...I did run some PR queries first...

 I hit that url whenever I read up on pkgsrc, why not
 put all the pkgsrc stuff in the pkgsrc.org domain?
 might have more appeal for the Linux et al camps and
 the send pr form could use existing PR system but
 fixed to the pkg category.

 I appreciate pkgsrc is basically a branch of NetBSD
 but if it is going to remain the "NetBSD Packages
 Collection" maybe an intermediate page explaining
 the redirect from pkgsrc.org to netbsd.org?

 I would suggest that if there is any authority behind a warning
 or message then it should be referred to. I searched the internet
 for USE_LANGUAGES and found lots of problems but no definition of
 what/why it is. All I can see is how one might set it differently.

 Does USE_LANGUAGES come from gcc, pkgsrc or something else?
 Citing "(RFC xxxx)" "(PKGSRC Guide 5.1.1)" "(author)" or whatever
 could go a long way toward a solution since people reading stderr
 probably didn't know there was a violation in the first place.

State-Changed-Why:
USE_LANGUAGES should not be set in mk.conf. math/R now sets USE_LANGUAGES= c c++ fortran. Submission path is now clear on pkgsrc.org.
