Hi, I compiled R on the Hurd, and (it seems that) everything went fine except X support. I posted the results to R developers, but I can not answer their questions. Probably you can. The relevant message is (hope it is not too long): ----- Forwarded message from Duncan Temple Lang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- [snip] > Bad news is that make check fails saying: > > Fatal error: The X11 shared library could not be loaded. > The error was /home/zs/R-1.1.1/bin/R_X11.so: undefined symbol: R_GlobalEnv > Just a quick thought.... Rather than being a problem with X11, it looks like it may be a problem associated with dlopen() when the R_X11.so library is explicitly loaded during the initialization. Basically, that `library' (R_X11.so) has to resolve all of the symbols to which it refers, and many of them are in the R executable (R.bin). Perhaps the linking and loading mechanisms in Hurd do not export these symbols from the application in a way that shared libraries can find them. Or it may be as simple as the flag passed to dlopen() not being RTLD_GLOBAL (although that shouldn't matter).
