xmkmf? problem
There are two problems here. The more important one is with your OS, which seems not to have its X11 stuff correct, so cc is not being found (and you cannot set it). R's configure has no protection against that. You can investigate that by blackduck% touch Imakefile blackduck% xmkmf imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config blackduck% grep CC Makefile ... which is what R does. I presume that this will also fail if you compile R out-of-the-box with gcc? If that works and pgcc does not then something else in your settings is amiss. The second is that if you are using a different compiler from that used to make X11, you may need to set CPICFLAGS etc. But we know about pgcc on Linux and so these will be set (but not necessarily SHLIB_LDFLAGS: see the R-admin manual).

Brian Yes cc is empty. Perhaps I should have mentioned that I have set CC=pgcc, to find the new compiler. Should I be setting cc too? Is there a problem if the compiler used for X11 was different? Thanks, Paul Prof Brian Ripley wrote:

I am having the xmkmf problem below with todays beta, but I also am trying to use an new (PGI 6.1), so lots of other things in my setup may be wrong, and the warning may also be important. Any hints would be appreciated.
My guess is that this is from
cc=`${srcdir}/tools/GETMAKEVAL CC`
cc=`echo ${cc} | sed "s/ .*//"`
if test "`which ${cc}`" = "`which ${CC}`"; then
shlib_ldflags=`${srcdir}/tools/GETMAKEVAL SHLIBLDFLAGS`
cpicflags=`${srcdir}/tools/GETMAKEVAL PICFLAGS`
fi
cxx=`${srcdir}/tools/GETMAKEVAL CXX`
cxx=`echo ${cxx} | sed "s/ .*//"`
if test "`which ${cxx}`" = "`which ${CXX}`"; then
cxxpicflags=`${srcdir}/tools/GETMAKEVAL CXXPICFLAGS`
fi
in configure and so either your compilers are not set correctly or your
OS's X11 does not find the compilers used to compile it.
I'd start by inserting debugging code in configure at that point to find
out what ${cc} and ${CC} are, with the expectation that one is empty.
