I think you need to make ../inst/OpenBUGS/bugs, not src/bugs. So something like all: ../inst/OpenBUGS/bugs ../inst/OpenBUGS/bugs: ../inst/OpenBUGS/CBugs.c gcc -m32 -o ../inst/OpenBUGS/bugs ../inst/OpenBUGS/CBugs.c -ldl However, -m32 builds a 32-bit executable on 64-bit linux. Is that what you wanted? -- Brian D.
