I'm having a problem trying to upgrade from R 1.6.0 to 1.7.0 on our Suns. We're running Solaris 8 and we're using gcc 3.2.3. The problem is that I get a bunch of error messages about a missing subroutine Rdconv::fill during the "make" of 1.7.0, although I didn't have this missing subroutine problem back when I installed 1.6.0. Can anyone suggest how I can fix this problem and get 1.7.0 to compile on our systems? Thanks very much.
This looks like a Perl problem. fill is in Text::Wrap, so my guess is that there is a problem with your installation. Could you please send us the output of perl --version and the exact error messages. (We know the current Perl 5.8.0 works, so upgrading to that should solve the problem.)
