make hanging during compile of r-patched/R-devel on Fedora Core 3

Hi, On a new Dell laptop, with a fresh FC3 installation (with latest updates applied) I am experiencing make hanging consistently after/during building grDevices. This happens when using the configure flag --with-lapack (I have the LAPACK rpm distributed with FC3 installed). The last two lines of output are: make[5]: Leaving directory `/home/gavin/R/devel/build/src/library/grDevices/src' make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/gavin/R/devel/build/src/library/grDevices/src' hang here There are no errors or warnings printed to the console. The same thing happens with r-patched. Both source trees were checked out using subversion. If I remove the configure flag for lapack, r-patches and r devel both build fine. I'm not sure where to look for error messages or to diagnose the problem. Has anyone experienced a similar problem? Where should I look for any errors/logs? Any other suggestions?
Gavin, FWIW, I can duplicate this behavior on my Dell 5150 w/ FC3 using the r- patched tarball from 2005-05-03. I thought that perhaps this might be related to the use of the nVidia proprietary driver, but temporarily going back to the 'nv' driver did not resolve the problem. Thus, I am unable to provide more information as to the etiology of the problem other than to point to some of the references in the r-admin manual starting on page 19 regarding linear algebra. Perhaps there is a problem with the FC3 LAPACK. Best regards, Marc Schwartz
