Dear R-devel,

I'm trying to compile R-1.9.0beta (2004-03-31) with the PGI 

compilers

(15-day free evaluation:  after the 15 days the binaries 

will stop working).

I'm running into some problems, that I hope some can offer pointers.

1. After configure, the FLIBS include /usr/local/lib' --- 

note the extra '.

I had to manually delete it in a couple of places.

In a previous thread on compiling R with ifc/icc, Saikat wrote:

The problem is in the AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS macro. It 

guesses the linker

flags by passing a verbose option (-v for ifc) to the 

compiler. For ifc this

produces a multiline output, one line continued to the next by a \
character. It also contains some " characters. These 

together produces the

wrong results. We can fix this by removing all \ and " from 

the variable

ac_f77_v_output in that macro. I am not sure if this breaks 

anything in

other compilers.

Seems like this is related.

2. `make' ran fine, until I get:
make[3]: Leaving directory `/u1/scratch/R-1.9.0/src/library/ts'
installing parsed NAMESPACE files
make[2]: *** [R] Error 139
make[2]: Leaving directory `/u1/scratch/R-1.9.0/src/library'
make[1]: *** [R] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/u1/scratch/R-1.9.0/src'
make: *** [R] Error 1

Does anyone know what might be causing this error?

Also, if I then run `bin/R', I just get a segfault.  Is 

this expected?  (I

thought not, since it's at the package building stage...)

2. is trying to run R, so that is the cause.  You need to 
find out why R 
segfaults.
