problem on upgrading to RH6.2 (One solution)
I finally found a way around though the underlying problem persists. It seems that the problem is with g77. Only the packages using FORTRAN failed to be loaded correctly in either way (R from rpm or built from scratch). The solution was to build R from the source using the flag --with-f2c with ./configure. All contrib packages installed with this version of R are loaded correctly and, as far as I can superficially see, work. make check gives positive feedback. Has anyone encountered the same problem?

The situation is far worse with the version of R built by myself after having downloaded the *.tgz file from statlib. With this version, R base works fine, but impossible to load successfully any library, even the one in the base packages (Just in case, the R-base*src.rpm provides the same source code and therefore I got the same problems). Note, my PC is pure vanilla. I just got it brand new and I installed RH6.2. Then I tried to build R and got all these problems. RH6.2 comes with <18>root at cuky/R: gcc --version egcs-2.91.66 How can I compare that with what Peter Dalgaard wrote ( I have been confused for a long time between the different brands of gcc, true gcc or egcs flavor).
[pd at blueberry pd]$ rpm -q egcs egcs-1.1.2-30 [pd at blueberry pd]$ gcc --version egcs-2.91.66 It's the same one. So it's pretty odd that you cannot build the packaces supplied with R (I assume "make check" fails?). That has worked for me all the time. I don't think I have anything out of the ordinary in my setup, except $ more .Rconf CFLAGS="-Wall -g -O2" FFLAGS="-Wall -g -O2"
