will not compile on Fedora Core 2 Test 2 (PR#6844)
Please try the r-patched version of R. This is a serious bug in the XFree86 4.4.x headers, that we have worked around by adding the lines shown /* don't use X11 function prototypes (which tend to ...): */ #define NeedFunctionPrototypes 0 /* XFree 4.4.0 forgets to define this if NeedFunctionPrototypes=0 */ #ifndef _Xconst #define _Xconst const #endif to dataentry.c. This works for me on a XFree86 4.4.0 system, and for a few others, but we would appreciate confirmation.
