Thank you very much! Now it works!
I won't trust 'configure' any more ;-) Couldn't you put this hint as
a footnote in file "INSTALL" or "PLATFORMS"? BTW, my distribution is
"DLD (Deutsche Linux Distribution)" v. 5.4, if you want to put that
in that list ...
For other beginners:
- untar source package (e.g.: tar -vzxf R-0.63.1.tgz)
- go to untar'ed directory
- edit file config.site, change
#SHLIBLDFLAGS=
to
SHLIBLDFLAGS=-shared
- run ./configure
- run make
- run make install
Thanks (for the information on compilers, too!),
Ulf
