Builds of the R-2.0.0 release have been considerably more successful
at my site than previous releases. I now have it installed on these
platforms:
Apple PowerPC G3 267MHz GNU/Linux 2.4.19-4a (Yellow Dog Linux release
2.3 (Dayton))
Compaq Alpha Sierra OSF/1 5.1
Compaq/DEC Alpha OSF/1 4.0F
Intel Itanium-2 GNU/Linux Red Hat Linux Advanced Server release
2.1AS (Derry)
Intel Pentium II FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE #0
Intel Pentium III FreeBSD 5.0
Intel Pentium III GNU/Linux 2.4.18-26.8.0smp (Red Hat 8.0
(Psyche))
Intel Pentium III GNU/Linux 2.4.21-20.ELsmp (Red Hat Enterprise
Linux WS release 3 (Taroon Update 3))
Intel Pentium III NetBSD 1.6
Intel Pentium III OpenBSD 3.2
Intel Pentium III Solaris 9 x86
SGI Origin 200 IRIX 6.5
Sun SPARC GNU/Linux 2.2.19-6.2.1 (Red Hat 6.2)
Sun SPARC Solaris 2.7
Sun SPARC Solaris 2.8
Sun SPARC Solaris 2.9
However, builds initially failed on several of these systems because
of errors like this:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11
On these systems, I was able to restart the build with
make LDFLAGS=-L/usr/X11R6/lib
and have it complete successfully. I've recently seen some other
packages that failed to compile for the same reason: the list of
standard locations that is searched at configure time for X11
libraries is out-of-date. The R-2.0.0 configure.ac script has this
snippet:
for dir in /usr/bin/X11 /usr/X11R6/bin /usr/openwin/bin; do
r_xtra_path="${r_xtra_path}${PATH_SEPARATOR}${dir}"
done
However, it does not seem to have an analogue for the corresponding
lib directory.
Also, on some systems, I had to switch from using the native C/C++
compilers to GNU gcc/g++.
R-2.0.0 has failed to build on these systems:
Apple PowerPC G4 1.4GHz Darwin 7.3.0 (MacOS 10.3.2 (7D26))
SGI Indy-200 GNU/Linux Gentoo 1.4.16
IBM PowerPC AIX 4.2
On the MacOS 10 system, builds with the native cc (== gcc 3.3
20030304) and with the latest gcc-3.4.3 fail like this:

On the GNU/Linux MIPS system, there is as yet no working Fortran
compiler, and f2c fails to build there, so R cannot be expected to
run.
On the IBM AIX system, I get this failure:

Shared libraries (*.so) are uncommon on AIX 4.2; there are none at all
in /usr/lib or /lib or /usr/lpp/X11/lib/, and only a few locally-added
ones in /usr/local/lib.
