Also, which compiler is this now? Maybe it is more stringent than the one we used when R 3.4.* was current? For Debian, you always have its own version of the wayback machine, namely
https://snapshot.debian.org/ (which can be slow to respond because the breadth and depth whatever page you refresh may pull something from fairly cold storage). I am not saying it will be _easy_ to recreate R 3.4.0 under Debian 12 but it is always _possible_. But my money would be on using pre-made (at the time !!) containers: $ docker run --rm -ti r-base:3.4.4 R --version R version 3.4.4 (2018-03-15) -- "Someone to Lean On" Copyright (C) 2018 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit) R is free software and comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. You are welcome to redistribute it under the terms of the GNU General Public License versions 2 or 3. For more information about these matters see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/. $ That is running on Ubuntu 24.04 but taking advantage of the official (for Docker) r-base image 3.4.4 (which the volunteers of the docker-library maintain re-using the Dockerfile from our rocker/r-base I look after). Heck, you could even use this container (it's Debian based) and try to peel of the /usr/{lib,share}/R directories and add whatever shared libraries you. That is of course a gross hack and not something I would ever publically recommend ;-) Dirk -- dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | e...@debian.org _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Debian mailing list R-SIG-Debian@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-debian
