Thanks very much, Brian, especially for answering on a Saturday. I wasn't sure what "r-patched" meant, and the developer page won't load
See the R FAQ: it's the patched release at ftp://ftp.stat.math.ethz.ch/Software/R/
for me (using the link from the main R page), so I just altered the code as suggested (patch shown below for verification) and it is now compiling happily away, having jumped over this dataentry.c roadblock smoothly. This makes me happy because I told some students the other day that they should try Fedora Core 2, and that they should use R on it. Dan.
