Problem Compiling R-2.0.0 on Linux Alpha
Thanks, Prof. Ripley. I downloaded the new admin.R and used that in place of one in R-2.0.0 build directory. The compile went fine. So, for the record, R-2.0.0 + Prof. Ripley's fixed admin.R compiles fine on "alphapca56-unknown-linux-gnu". ---- [rajiv@localhost rajiv]$ R R : Copyright 2004, The R Foundation for Statistical Computing Version 2.0.0 (2004-10-04), ISBN 3-900051-07-0 R is free software and comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

Thanks, Peter, and Prof. Ripley. My efforts last night was mostly futile except that it told
me about
the embedded newline in Built field. Prof. Ripley: how do I get your fixes? Can I just download R-2.0.0-patched?
Yes, tomorrow's tarball unless you want to get it from the
SVN archive. The change is in src/library/tools/R/admin.R and
looks like
Built <-
paste("R ",
paste(R.version[c("major", "minor")],
collapse = "."),
"; ",
if(file_test("-d", file.path(dir, "src"))) OStype
else "",
"; ",
## Prefer date in ISO 8601 format.
## Could also use
## format(Sys.time(), "%a %b %d %X %Y")
Sys.time(),
"; ",
.OStype(),
sep = "")
## we must not split the Built: field across lines
writeLines(c(formatDL(names(db), db, style = "list"),
paste("Built", Built, sep=": ")),
file.path(outDir, "DESCRIPTION"))
db["Built"] <- Built
Obviously I have not tested on an Alphabc...tuvwxyz system
but it should
work there.
