compiling on alpha/linux
Thanks to Brian Ripley, Douglas Bates, and Peter Dalgaard, who all pointed me towards the assembler (or compiler/assembler conflicts) as the likely culprit in my earlier "opcode" errors (most of original question below). After a lot of looking around, we found out that the particular alpha system we bought (from Microway) doesn't like the gnu compilers; it prefers Compaq's c and fortran compilers. Once we installed those, we compiled without difficulty. So be careful to get details on the capabilities and software requirements of any alpha system you're looking into buying. (I suppose this should be obvious, but perhaps I can save somebody else learning the hard way ...) Matt Wiener -------------------------------------------------------------------------
