I am forwarding this bug report from Tim Powers at Red Hat. He is building R 0.99.0 on what will be Red Hat Linux/Alpha 6.2.

I downloaded the source for 0.99.0, and am getting this error when building
for alpha:
printutils.c: In function `Rvprintf':
printutils.c:424: wrong type argument to unary exclamation mark
make[3]: *** [printutils.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/bs/BUILD/R-0.99.0/src/main'
make[2]: *** [R] Error 2
make[1]: *** [R] Error 1
make: *** [R] Error 1
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.43654 (%build)
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/bs/BUILD/R-0.99.0/src/main'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/bs/BUILD/R-0.99.0/src'
Build failed on alpha!
The problem is that you can't call va_list from another function reliably on all platforms. It has to be treated very specially (in this case on Alpha it breaks). --------------End of forwarded message------------------------- -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
