I am attempting to compile R-0.64.2 under Caldera OpenLinux 2.2. I have KDE installed but not gnome. When I ran configure, it correctly indicated that gnome is not installed. However when I then ran make, I received errors complaining that the include file X11/X.h and similar are not found.

However, you do have X11 on your machine if you have KDE, and you definitely do want to use X11 in R to get graphics. You may not have the X11 header files installed -- they should be somewhere under /usr/X11 or /usr/include/X11. If the header files aren't installed then you will need to install them. They will be on your distribution CD, perhaps in a package called something like x-devel.
They are in the file Packages/RPMS/XFree86-devel-3.3.3.1-4.i386.rpm (On the RedHat 6.0 distribution, there is XFree86-devel-3.3.3.1-49.i386.rpm which seems to be a later version.) ---------------------------------------------------------------- I have been wrestling with this also. I had to install g77 from the distribution CD, then the above rpm. Having got this in order, I then received extensive output, terminated by the following (which I have formatted on to multiple lines): gcc -export-dynamic -o ../../bin/R.X11 arithmetic.o array.o attrib.o bind.o builtin.o character.o coerce.o colors.o complex.o context.o cov.o cum.o debug.o devPS.o devPicTeX.o deparse.o deriv.o devices.o dotcode.o dstruct.o duplicate.o envir.o errors.o eval.o format.o fourier.o gram.o gram-ex.o graphics.o iosupport.o list.o logic.o main.o match.o memory.o model.o names.o objects.o optimize.o options.o par.o paste.o platform.o plot.o plot3d.o plotmath.o print.o printarray.o printvector.o printutils.o random.o relop.o saveload.o scan.o seq.o sort.o source.o split.o subassign.o subscript.o subset.o summary.o unique.o util.o version.o ../unix/libunix.a ../appl/libappl.a ../nmath/libmath.a -lSM -lICE -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/egcs-2.91.66 -L/usr/i386-linux/lib -lg2c -lm -lg2c: -ldl -lm /usr/i386-linux/bin/ld: cannot open -lg2c: No such file or directory make[3]: *** [../../bin/R.X11] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/john/BUILD/src/main' make[2]: *** [R] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/john/BUILD/src/main' make[1]: *** [R] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/john/BUILD/src' make: *** [R] Error 1 I have been unable to find anything on the distribution CD that might answer to the lg2c. Any clues would be welcome. These difficulties aside, the Caldera OpenLinux 2.2 distribution is much more novice-friendly than RedHat 6.0. Configuration is much quicker and more straightforward.
