Martyn, Just a quick heads up that Tom appears to be in the midst of the updates for 2.1.1, as there have been some commits to the R CVS at Extras today. The CVS commit e-mail list has an archive here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-commits/2005-June/thread.html He has some commit posts that being with "rpms/R" If you have not yet seen it, a web interface to the Extras CVS for R is at: http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/rpms/R/?root=extras#dirlist I thought that I would mention that if you have not had any communications with him since the exchange last Thursday, relative to the compiler flag issues.
