Can somebody help me ?

Which OS/platform and compiler are we talking about?

From his multitudinous recent postings, a peculiar IRIX setup.

However, that line is not valid Fortran: replace < by .LT.
Please note the posting guide asks you to discuss problems in 
packages 
with the maintainer (and to state your platform and R version).
