thanks for pointing this out! I'm still extremely short on time (and on a dialup connection). For all I can see, the fix is as easy as removing the line #include "Rdevices.h" from rbackend/rembedinternal.cpp (around line 90). It simply was not really needed, an now it breaks things. So, the fix is simple enough, however, I won't get around to roll fixed packages too soon. Still, if you are a package maintainer, you will know how to release a fixed package. I'd appreciate it a lot, if you could look into that! Note: I did not actually download and check R 2.8.0, so possibly other things are borken as well. As for the missing header, the solution is simply to remove the include line as detailed above. Regards Thomas
