Sequence of events:
1. I loaded a two-processor Pentium Pro system with Red Hat Linux 7.0. I
loaded *everything*.
2. I downloaded R-base-1.1.1-3.i386.rpm from the CRAN archive and
installed it with no problems.
3. Then I spotted R-base-1.2.0-2.i386.rpm and downloaded it. It
installed fine, but when I tried to execute the "demo("graphics")"
command it gave some errors.
4. Then I downloaded R-base-1.2.0-3.src.rpm and tried to build it. The
build job blew up.
5. Finally, I downloaded the latest gcc (2.96-69) and latest glibc (2.2-9)
from Red Hat and installed them.
6. Now the R-base-1.2.0-3.src.rpm builds successfully, and the resulting
R-base-1.2.0-3.i386.rpm installs and the 'demo("graphics")' runs to
completion.
