Dear Prof's Ripley and Dalgaard , You are correct; this is a compiler error. I assumed that since it was an easy fix to the problem by just changing the compiler option to -O that it could save some headaches for you. As far as the version goes, it is gcc v. 3.4.2 built for freebsd on the amd64:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] gcc -v Using built-in specs. Configured with: FreeBSD/amd64 system compiler Thread model: posix gcc version 3.4.2 [FreeBSD] 20040728 Finally, the output was with "-g -O2". Using -0 compiles and installs with no problems. Sincerely, Kel On Mon, 10 Jan 2005 15:01:52 +0000 (GMT), Prof Brian Ripley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > In what sense is this a bug in R?
