This should be -L/usr/local/fortran/lib64, and that error causes R's build command to be invalid. Please note that this is covered in the R-admin manual which the INSTALL file asked you to read (instead of asking other people to read it for you). > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/R-2.3.0> echo $LDFLAGS > /usr/local/fortran/lib64 > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/R-2.3.0> export F77=/usr/local/fortran/bin/gfortran > ... > checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C > compiler cannot create executables > See `config.log' for more details. > > I've put up my config.log at http://sweb.uky.edu/~bebark2/config.log > > Thanks in advance for the advice. > > -- Brian D.
