Installing Rstreams lib

Unfortunately, I get these error messages:
---------------------------

[557] R CMD INSTALL Rstreams_1.1-2.tar.gz

Eh?  That code says

        case 8:
            if (read(*handle, &d1, size) <= 0) goto enddata;
            if (*swapbytes) swap(&d1, size);
            result[i] = d1;
            break;
#if SIZEOF_LONG_DOUBLE > 8
        case sizeof(long double):
            if (read(*handle, &e1, size) <= 0) goto enddata;
            if (*swapbytes) swap(&e1, size);
            result[i] = (double) e1;
            break;
#endif

and identical tests are used in the binary connections part of R itself,
where they presumably did work. You may need to edit the src/config.h file,
as it looks as if the configure script has got it wrong, and use R INSTALL
--no-configure.

Also there is very little that Rstreams can do that you cannot do as well
with binary connections in base R.
