Subject: compile under Ubuntu 8.10 (Ibex)

I fired up a new machine last night and loaded Ubuntu 8.10 on it.  I then had 
to add in the usual compiler stuff which is not loaded by default: make, emacs, 
fortran, c++, etc.
 
 I'm having trouble compiling R 2.8 however.  I get a message that it cannot 
figure out how to link f77 and C.  I've pulled in "gfortran".  A google search 
on "fortran ubuntu 8.10" shows various problems with the gcc switch from 
fortran77 to fortran95 --- also true for R?
 
 Any hints are welcome, including "don't use 8.10" (thought that will be an 
evening of work).
